Brickbat: Preach It!

Georgia Gwinnett College has agreed to pay $800,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by two students who were barred from talking to other students about their Christian faith or passing out literature in common areas of campus. Officials told Chike Uzuebunam he could speak only in two free speech zones that had to be reserved in advance and were only open a few hours a week. Joseph Bradford, another student who wished to preach on campus, later joined Uzuebunam in the suit against the college.

I wish America was a free speech zone.
Ohh
I'm earning 85 dollars/h to complete some work on a home computer. I not at all believed that it can be possible but my close friend earning $25k only within four weeks simply doing this top task as well as she has satisfied me to join.

Just you wait.
After the far right wing evil monster republicans take over in a stolen election, they will do this on a massive scale by restricting use of social media accounts to two hours a day, using only verified identity accounts, only one app per person, and you will have to be over 21.
Bonus points if Americans are taught to pray in complete silence alone with assigned Bible readings, 30 mins every day. Throw in the Rosary at bedtime and this country will be transformed. Into what I dont know but given our present trajectory, anything else would be an improvement
Imagine the improvements in mental health.
Good for the 2 students. Congrats!
The settlement was finalized last week, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom, an Arizona-based organization that focuses on protecting religious freedom and free speech that represented the students.
When you have pissed off both a state university system and the Southern Poverty Law Center, you know you are doing God's work.
From Wiki on the Alliance Defending Freedom:
"The Southern Poverty Law Center designates ADF as an anti-LGBT hate group based on its active opposition to legal rights and protections of LGBTQ people in the United States and around the world.[20] ADF has lobbied, brought lawsuits, and provided legal support to groups to prevent decriminalization of homosexuality in the United States and worldwide; oppose same-sex marriage; prevent laws from being passed to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity; force transgender people to be sterilized in order to change their identification documents; and restrict transgender people's rights to use bathrooms and play sports.[21][5][20] "

Yep, that reads like a nice impartial encyclopedia.
I suspect ADF is just fine with transgender delusionists using the bathroom, but not the one of the opposite sex. Likewise, the ADF is fine with anyone playing sports, but not on a team of the opposite sex.
Uzuebunam
I wasn't sure how to feel about this decision until I knew what everyone's skin color is. Turns out the guy's name is actually spelled Uzuegbunam. Color me racist.

That he is black, masculine and articulate likely put him in the crosshairs of the pagans. Had he been demonstrating how to perform an abortion, he would have been celebrated.
shame they couldn't get him to kneel at the playing of the Anthem
