Video of UTC student arrested near evangelist goes viral, sparks controversy

[d_r]

31. I teach at utc

it isn't a free speech zone. It is the middle of a crossing of two walk ways right in the middle of the campus.

You can come on to campus to speak if you fill out a form and submit it. That's why the woman says she had signed up.

There arn't usually the pylons there. The campus police said they put them up because when the woman was doing this before she complained that students were getting to close talking back to her.

I think they are doing this because they are afraid the woman will sue them that she isn't getting her access to free speech.

I don't think that this guy knew what the pylons were at first. He doesn't look like he was trying to go straight to the woman or anything, more like he was trying to pass by.

eta here is a video the evangelist posted that shows when she first showed up and they came out and made her sign a paper to be on campus

this from the evangelist's facebook page-
