College Campuses

This is the kind of thing I'd expect to see back at home more than down here in this bright red state. I was shocked, shocked I say to walk by this sign on campus the other day. Apparently, UH and all those firmly entrenched in the ivory towers here (though in truth, they are more like large boxy rectangular towers on this campus) are big fans of that freedom of speech stuff, provided your speech is expressed exactly how they specify it in University of Houston Freedom of Expression if you Express it Properly Policy. Also, please don't leave the designated free speech area, make that speech too loud, too early in the morning, or write anything on a sign anyone can see. This all brought to you by the same folks that are all in a tizzy about the Patriot Act.

Yep, it's a little bit of home right here in the Lone Star State!

Of course, it can't be as bad as the last free speech pen I saw.
