While watching the group presentations last week, I saw that one movie that depicted the protesters here at BYU and was kind of in schock at the free speech they had hindered. They were merely expressing their dislike for the speaker coming for graduation, and yet, they were told to be in a "free speech" zone. If I were the admin, which I'm sadly not, I would tell them they can protest where they feel, as long as they are non-violent.
One time at high school, my friend Adam wore a shirt that said, "I'm a gangsta of love." And it had a heart on it. The admin told him to cover up the "gangsta" part. So he duct taped over that part, even though everyone who knows the old cliche phrase knows exactly what was under it. Free speech was ridiculously hindered here. I honestly wouldn't care if he wore the shirt, it makes no difference to how the school day goes. However, our admin was very adiment about there being no "gang-affiliated" clothing worn throughout the day.
