Wedgies Are Covered Under the First Amendment
In yet another example of the religious right forgetting everything Jesus talked about (aside from the Heaven parts, that is), the AFA's mouth organ is talking about policies in the UNC program that "clearly and substantially" restrict everyone's free speech. Sounds like a good matter of debate... that is, until you see the policy clippings that the AFA consider "Orwellian":
-A ban on "insults, taunts, or challenges directed toward another person"
-A requirement that all students "respect the dignity of all persons" and "strive for the openness to learn from differences in people"
-A policy outlawing "disrespect for persons"
In other words, what they're saying is, "Well, why can't we degrade people because of what they are? It's our Christian right!" Way to be open and accepting, fuckers.
