Parentis Goes Loco
When Occidental College cracks down on speech, it really cracks down hard. Not content to remove the host of a sometimes bawdy student radio show, it ended up dissolving the student government and seizing its funds. By the end of the school year, it was insinuating to outsiders that the host was slashing people's tires and making anonymous threats, though it never actually filed any charges. The student was nearly expelled before the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education came to his aid.
