FIRE on Flyers
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education relates a mindboggling story of campus censorship. Steve Hinkle, a college Republican at California Polytechnic State University, was posting a flyer to announce a talk by Mason Weaver, the (African-American) author of It's OK to Leave the Plantation, who argues that dependence on government is bad for African Americans. A few students holding an unofficial bible study group were offended, and after confronting Hinkle reported "a suspicious white male passing out literature of an offensive racial nature." Hinkle was then disciplined for "disrupting" the group.
