Just wait until conservatives hear about this attempt to limit political free speech and to create a safe space on a college campus! Theyll be outraged! Simply, outraged!

(70,578 posts)If Trump is booed @ a SEC Football game in Alabama you know his goose is cooked. Looking forward to a bunch of
white students chanting, "Lock him up." Trump might decide he doesn't want to go to the game.

Alabama will not punish students who boo President Donald Trump at Saturday's game against LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, the university's Student Government Association said an earlier message that threatened to revoke seating at future games for "organizations that engage in disruptive behavior" had been taken out of context.
"The SGA strongly affirms its belief in free speech and the rights of all students to express their opinions," the statement said. "Todays report erroneously assigned a political context to a message meant only to remind students about heightened security and the consequences of altercations or other behaviors unbecoming of a University of Alabama student."

(254 posts)he was deluged by an avalanche of calls, Tweets, texts, Reddit and Instagram comments threatening him with lawsuits for stomping on their First Amendment Rights, including the @ACLU.
He had to rescind that directive soon after, so there will be no such directive imposed on the First Amendment rights of Americans attending a football game. ( My daughter attends University of Alabama and myself and my family will be at the game this weekend.)

(2,499 posts)The audience was described as wildly enthusiastic to the point where there was several encores and after that the fire alarm went off. Unfortunately as Jobriath's momentum was picking up steam, it would be his last tour date ever and his label dropped him.
