[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 2721811, member: 8035"] The right of the KKK to burn crosses has been protected by the SCOTUS, as has the right of Westboro to do what they do. Hate speech is protected, period. The 1st amendment forbids the government from punishing hate speech. You don't think the fact that they were enclosed in a bus is significant? Seriously? Is it your contention that the people who feel that the OU campus was transformed into a hostile environment were on the bus? Are you saying that they heard the chants as they took place? I only ask because the SCOTUS has deemed that hate speech is not protected when it incites imminent violence. Agreed, it is worse that a whole group did this. But if the KKK and Westboro are protected, why isn't this group? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
