Now rip it out. The state funded University of Nebraska is banning free speech outside the football stadium.
A new policy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln bans politicking outside Memorial Stadium. That means no speeches, buttons, bumper stickers, leaflets or campaign signs.The ban on free speech is supposed to make the game more enjoyable. The aptly titled Chancellor Harvey Perlman claims that Constitutional rights are being trampled for the fans.
Ironically, Memorial Stadium is named in honor of Nebraskans who fought and died preserving the very freedom Chancellor Perlman is violating. Perhaps he should rename the stadium, whilst those men turn over in their graves.
