UC Berkeley law professor denies free speech.

@Richard65 [quote] Berkeley fully supports his right to choose not to allow his home to be used for an unauthorised political protest, as that's not what the event was arranged for. So, if your argument relies on the fact Berkeley was hosting a law school event in which the professor effectively has no control, then even Berkeley disagrees with you. The occasion was to recognize the work of law students and provide an opportunity to enjoy casual time with the two prominent professors. Not to make a political protest. [/quote]

The law professor doesn't know his rights, and neither does the Chancellor. And these are the people in authority teaching students. It's the same deal with public officials governing society and running the nation to the ground.

The student involved was using the dinner event to voice her feelings about a matter of public controversy: Gaza.

The student was a Muslim. The professor was a Jew. Instead of pouncing on and stopping her, the professor should have allowed her to have the floor. They were all graduating law students, and should have been treated like adults capable of listening to what she had to say.

@sree251 Was she interesrted in dialogue? Or did she merely want to create a viral hateful buzz?

@sree251 It's still private property.

@HoraceGreenley So what? Your body is also private until you hawk it for selfish gains.

@sree251
Are the laws of this country a mystery to you?

@ChipmunkErnie My friend, you are out to lunch.

@sree251 Read the Constituion and then go get your own lunch.

@Bumbles That's the way they teach them in college.

@sree251 My kid went to Berkeley...oh, I know!
