Officials at Grambling State University in Grambling, La., have dispatched an e-mail to students warning them against forwarding certain political e-mails they may get on the school e-mail system, because they could violate “state policy.”
The issue is being highlighted by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which monitors educational institutions for violations of civil rights.
“As the national dialogue increasingly focuses on the upcoming elections, administrators at Grambling State have made the unconstitutional decision to shut down the conversation on campus,” said Robert Shibley, the organization’s senior vice president.
“The First Amendment protects such core political expression, and as a public university, GSU cannot lawfully prevent students and faculty from speaking their minds about the electoral choices facing our country,” he said.

This type of infringement on our Freedoms is getting out of hand. The Schools and their officers should lose all funding and officials jailed for violating the Constitutional rights of Citizens. That is the only way to stop this march to tyranny.
marine68 Yes, it is out of hand but legalism is not the answer. What has happened to our manners? Why do I need a law to make me behave the way I should? That is 180 degrees from the concept of liberty. This come under principles rather than under law because there is no mechanism available to law to make it work by law. It can only work by choice. A Marxist failure because they believe in rule by law rather than free will governed by principles.
~ Jude 1:8 ¶ Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.~
These verses have been running through my mind and should apply here. If we keep this rule we should not offend. From Daniel we read that the Lord sets whomsoever He will over the affairs of men, even the basest of men, many such now serving as elected officers in our government. They do not distract from the honor of the office which we need to maintain for the Lord's sake but they, themselves, are not worthy of the office. I see a lot of disrespect and don't pass some of the things I receive because it has railing accusations. No, I don't support Obama and his Marxist ways but there are honorable ways to deal with this. Neither do I agree with Grambling. Rather, they should be teaching what is hororable and it will take care of this problem without any effort on their part.
America: You have seen nothing yet that you have "knowingly" voted for in the last election(i.e., a fundamental transformation of your government into Marxism)! I say "knowingly" because on average women have better verbal comprehension skills than men and women overwhelmingly voted for this promised Marxist(Anti-Messiah) takeover of our Republic! Sound Familiar? It's called "intellectualizing!" Remember the apple story in Genius(Man's first sin)? Watch!
I am female and I didn't vote for him! I heard what he DIDN'T say!! That's what scared the hell out of me. I was listening!
I hated voting for McCain (rino in chief), but I voted for hope. Hope McCain's head would fall off and Palin takes over. Don't have evidence she is rino or anything, but just good for America. The fix was in for sob.
don't forget the million mickey mouse's and donald ducks voting for him.
Nothing new under the sun, since the Comintern came into existence in March 1919 the left have marched throught the institutions. Now is the time to grasp what is happening and give them ammended marching orders right out of our institutions.
and USA must start hanging traitors and STOP all immigration from mexico and arab countries for at least ten years.
"and STOP all immigration from mexico and arab countries for at least ten years"
'Cause we know its those damned brown people who cause most of our problems, right?
no, and that is so mean of you to say that. It's because other countries do not border the USA and are not allowed to enter illegally like mexicans are doing. Arabs have been given a green light to enter the USA only for the purpose to help sob destroy it and maybe a few killings and suicide bombing along the way. It's not FAIR to the ones who can't enter, they also want to come to America but get turned away. So do not assume everyone is a racist from just one statement, try thinking beyond all the hate you have, if you can. A racist is someone who hates, and how can anyone hate a fellow human? obots voted for a idiot!
James,
Daniel did not say such! Why would you even imply that he did so? His point was to limit their immigration to the U.S.A.
We need to stop ALL immigration for ten years, period. Get our house in order. No more H1B visas for people to take Americans' few jobs. Let the unemployed pick veggies; it'll do them good and give them an appreciation of their food and the labors of others.
So who pays to bus people from the areas hardest hit by unemployment to the areas where most of the agriculture and construction take place?
This is The U.S.A. James!
If people want a job they will get there on their own!
Why is it that you Liberals always think in terms of Government doing this for the people?
This is always your mindset! Which is wrong! Not good for America to continue this kind of mentality which Liberals have.
So if you lose your job in North Carolina, you'd have no problem getting to Florida to pick oranges? And keep in mind, the Midwest (the hardest hit by job losses) is a lot farther from California (where most of the produce is grown) than you are from Florida.
James you need to get this Nannie / Welfare State mentality out of your head! It is not our Nations responsiblity to transport people to or from work.
Maybe not–but then the fact remains that Goldbug's "solution" remains unworkable. I notice that you didn't answer the question.
I know none of these students or staff are breaking any state laws in LA! But what if a major portion of the students decided to transfer to other places of higher learning? Wouldn't this cause a fiasco for Grambling? NO, a university cannot stomp all over our CONSTITUTION and survive!
Maybe certain endowments from heavy hitters could be affected but without students, you won't need money! BACK OFF GRAMBLING! As long as the Stars & Stripes fly over this country, unless Muslim beliefs can get Muslims expelled then Christians beliefs cannot get Christians expelled! This goes for any other religion and since this country WAS founded on CHRISTIAN principles we Christians will be heard and stand up for one another. We will not be silenced!
We have a guy on here who is an appeaser, he wants us silent because he is better than us. sob, usob feels the same as this person and they do not know that our freedoms are being taken away bit by bit. Wait until they are enforced, there wll lots of wailing and gnashing going on. sob, usob's army is marching on.
People need to take their kids out of these institutions of higher dumbing down, brainwashing and propaganda! After all that money and/or debt, the students end up with warped minds and no job prospects. The outlandish tuitions and book prices would come down if people would boycott them.
"The outlandish tuitions and book prices would come down if people would boycott them."
We could hope so, though a lack of jobs typically makes more people, not fewer, turn to college.
And job prospects are still considerably better for someone with a college degree than for someone without one: "Nationally, college graduates with bachelor's degrees fared better in the economic downturn than others, with an unemployment rate of 5.5 percent in 2009, compared with all persons at 9.3 percent. Those with bachelor's degrees also had higher median earnings, about $51,688 per year ($994 per week), versus the $31,304 per year ($602 per week) that high school graduates earned." http://www.qualityinfo.org/olmisj/ArticleReader?i…
The one with the college degree can expect to earn a million dollars more in his/her lifetime.
James i do agree with you on the issue of higher education. But the facts are that attaining a college education has become more difficult in this economy.
The ants go marching………….China, mostly chinese for hundreds of centuries, take drastic measures to curtail any interference from other countries. Then there was ole Abe, he was ready for the war to end so he sent in General Sheridan. We are presently at DEFCON 2 (too appeasing to announce it) and only drastic measures must occur to save the USA (by the way, won't help, its going to get worse and worse). There are some people that will remain and go through perilous times the worse times EVER, its so apparent that you welcome all this. "Que sera, sera."
James we all are aware of how liberal you are! Heck you & Obama would give our country away if you were allowed to do so. Fact is that illegals are costing us
much more than any contribution they are making in addition to taking away much needed jobs from our citizens. The solution is simple to me! If here illegally deport them immediately no exceptions! Finish the fence on our borders! Put more enforcement officers on our borders consisting of if needed more Border Guards, ICE Officers, Police Officers, Sheriffs & their Deputies, U.S.Marshalls, The National Guard, The Reserfves & Miltary if needed. We as a Nation have to end this insanity!
"illegals are costing us much more than any contribution they are making"
Wrong: http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/economy/… (You'll notice the link is to that liberal media hotbed, Fox News.)
"The solution is simple to me! If here illegally deport them immediately no exceptions!"
Yeah, finding and deporting 11 million people sounds "simple." Though thanks in part to our own economic woes, illegal immigration has dropped significantly.
"The National Guard, The Reserfves & Miltary if needed."
They've been pretty busy fighting a couple of senseless wars.
James you are wrong ! Get it ! If not then i suggest brain surgery for you !____The Cost Illegals are Extracting from our Society is Atrocious! Free Benefits consisting of Medical, Housing, Food Stamps, Welfare Checks, Child Care, Cellular Telephones, Legal Expenses, Cost of Imprisoning Illegals, Cost of Deporting Illegals & Loss of Jobs for True Americans.____The Deportation of 11 million Illegals Immediately With No Exceptions! Heck Yes & we coud do it ! It may take awhile but if consistant as the Nazi's were in WWII who transported over 20 million people then we most definitely can achieve this! Do not even quote Godwin's Law !____The National guard, The Reserves & Military most definitelty figure into our securing our borders. We will not be in Afganistan & Iraq forever ! My position is that securing our borders is more of a priority to our National Security than Afganistan or Iraq is!
Wrong again. http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/economy/
Grambling State University supposedly is a Institution for Higher Learnong?
Possibly The Administration needs a refresher course on The Constitution!
Correction: Higher Learning

Great–racism and the implication of implied violence. Just what we'd expect from a birther.
I referred you to Fox because I knew you trusted them even if I don't. Funny, if I refer you to another site, you reflexively bust out your "liberal media" cry. I don't know why this site chopped off the url, but since you're obviously unable to do a simple search for yourself, I'll try again: http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/economy/…
James! Sorry! But you are just wrong! where in the world did you ever get the impression that i trusted Fox News? I have never said anything of the such! Nor have i ever given you or any one else a reason to believe such. The article you refer to does not take into account all the cost associated with illegals! Therefore it is nothing more than an poorly constructed opinion without taking in account all the facts.
Very similar to your opinion!
More likely only you couldn't see it–or would pretend not to. But as someone who has previously referred to Obama as a "nigger" and who has suggested lynching someone was a "good idea," your credibility isn't great on this issue.
But even if we take you at your word that you don't get it, why do you think the third and fifth jokes are funny, if not because of the implied violence and the racism?
James these are jokes whether you like them or not is your problem! So get over it!
Get a life! Pacifist liberal progressive communist Obnuts like you disgust me!
I didn't say they weren't jokes. I said they were racist and implied violence–which, despite your denial, is obviously true. And obviously your feelings toward me matter not at all to me-or, I suspect, to anyone else.
James i truly do not put much merit in what you have to say. As for you i have made it clear that i detest you greatly! You are less than any man i know! A bigot ,liar & fake all in one is you!
No, you haven't answered the question. But if it's so easy, surely you won't mind doing so: "If you lose your job in North Carolina, you'd have no problem getting to Florida to pick oranges?"
James just how difficult is it to scroll back up to my answers? You can not be this simple minded? Then again you can! Your question of if i lost my job then would i have a problem with going to Florida to pick oranges? First i would have to lose my job & second why would i go to florida when we have plenty of agriculture right here in N.C. But now if you are saying that i could only find a job in Florida then i would have to say sure!
P.S.!
James as usual you waste evryones time on this site with such BS & immature questions & comments.
If they're such a waste of time, why would you spend so much time seeking out and answering every comment I make, whether you understand it or not, and whether it applies to you or not?
On the other hand, I certainly don't mind–I suspect the time you "waste" here is the most meaningful part of your life.
Lol! James if you think i am going to allow you to attack people on this site unjustly then you are badly mistaken.
As for me i have avery meaningful life compared to yours!
How does it feel to you to know that you are such a failure? Can not keep a job? Working for some liberal organization spining lies on conservative sites like this one? It can not be a very rewarding career?
