Court Allows Students To Desecrate Terrorist Flags
WND:
In a decision hailed as a victory for free speech, a federal judge ordered San Francisco State University and the California State University system to stop enforcing speech codes used to prosecute students for the “desecration” of flags used by terrorist groups.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Wayne Brazil issued a preliminary injunction to bar the schools from enforcing several policies challenged in a lawsuit. One required students to act in accordance with SFSU “goals, principles, and policies” and another, a CSU system-wide policy, called for students “to be civil to one another.”
“This decision is a vital step in the fight against unconstitutional campus speech codes,” said Greg Lukianoff, president of the non-profit advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE. “The court’s decision frees hundreds of thousands of students throughout the CSU system from unlawful restrictions on their expression.”

Good.People can burn US flags or step it or whatever. What’s good for the goose is sauce for the gander.

(Host) Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha spoke through a translator. He said his province has overcome terrorists and insurgents.
(Abu Risha) (voices shift back and forth from Arabic to English) “Today in this state … we present this victory … to the families of the victims of the soldiers in Iraq … and specifically express our appreciation to the state of Vermont.”
(Host) He was one of three officials from the Al Anbar province who visited the US.
The National Guard says the visit to Camp Johnson was significant because Vermont Guard members served in Al Anbar province in 2005 and 2006 - when it was very dangerous.
