I wonder what would happen if some students posted “D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y” in their windows and got into a 1st Amendment skunkfight with tOSU over core values and free expression thereof?

Timely contact with reporters and bloggers, etc., beforehand would add more zing to it.

Ah yes, if I were younger and just moved into the dorms I’d have this planned out several moves ahead, very carefully. “If tOSU does this, we’ll do that; if they do that, then we’ll do this…”

“Freedom isn’t free,” indeed! It takes work and some risk, but the fight against Unthinking Bureaucracy is worthwhile even when one fails.

I can see why the bureaucrats don’t want anything embarrassing to happen. However, these are folks who get paid VERY handsomely, and tuition, room and board are very costly. Losing first amendment rights in one’s abode just ain’t right.
