According to the University of Hawaii you can’t have the right of free speech. Even Universities are trying to taking away our Constitution bit by bit.
Two students are suing the University of Hawaii for violating their First Amendment rights after administrator prevented them from distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution — demonstrating a frightening lack of knowledge about the very legal document they were attempting to censor.
Students Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone, members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH-Hilo, were prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution at a recruitment event in January. A week later, they were again informed by a censorship-minded administrator that their First Amendment-protected activities were in violation of school policy.
The students were told that they could only distribute literature from within UH-Hilo’s “free speech zone,” a small, muddy, frequently-flooded area on the edge of campus. Administrators further clarified their level of respect for students’ free speech rights, making comments like, “This isn’t really the ’60s anymore,” and “people can’t really protest like that anymore,” according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

There was a Big Lawsuit settled on a similar issue not long ago....SUE AND WIN FOR THE USA
Maybe the local militia should bring these school administration leaders up on charges as being traitors. Time to take the law into our own hands.
THESE are the EDUCATED people? The ones who should know what the Constitution says?
WHO in the hell came up the idea of "zones" for free speech? As far as I can see, the Constitution places that zone EVERYWHERE between the Atlantic and Pacific coastline.
AND, this was promoted on a college campus? Where the free exchange of ideas and information is SUPPOSED to occur?
The next time anyone designates a certain area as a "free speech zone", they should be hung at the local "freedom square".
What appalls me the most is that so many people think a "free speech zone" is a perfectly legal idea.
Keep cheering.
