Public university president retracts statement that ‘hate speech’ is punishable ‘by law’ – sort of

“…Nicholls State University President Jay Clune warned the community earlier this month that the taxpayer-funded institution would punish those who commit “hate speech” with the “swiftest, harshest action allowed by law.”

He went even further, implying it was illegal for any member of the community to speak or act “in a manner that does not support our values.” Not just violate those values – failure to support them…”

Mr. Clune has set himself up as the arbiter on what speech is allowable, based on “our values.” You want to guess on what those values are? This is contrary to the first amendment of the U.S. constitution, one of the founding documents of our republic.

This is who is teaching our youngsters.
