Bad Science Note

Here's Bu$hCo's new science advisor. & here's a tidbit about how much he supports the Constitution.

"Jischke decreed that demonstrations and other free speech activities could happen without prior approval at the Edward S. Allen Free Speech Area, south of the Hub. All other areas were restricted or conditional speech areas, examples of the latter being the steps of Beardshear Hall or Carrie Chapman Catt Hall's Plaza of Heroines, the use of which required persons to fill out an Activity Information and Authorization Form, available at the Student Activities Center. The restrictions were not content-based, administrators claimed, meaning that they would restrict speech if it caused a disturbance, not because of what the speech actually contained.

"Jischke's move did not endear him to activists and defenders of the First Amendment, and his future decisions (see below) were always viewed as being made without concern to other views. The concept of the free speech zone was repealed upon President Gregory Geoffroy taking office."
