The State wants us to believe that it has its reasons to wants to suppress public university faculty from their right of freedom of speech. Ok, but when is the faculty not seen as faculty. Say faculty has a bumper sticker on their car... Must they remove it on university premises and put it back on their car when off university property? This doesn't make sense to me. As Beth mentioned, I, too, don't agree with faculty imposing their personal political stand on students; but, as people they should still have their freedom of speech, right? Who knows what the government is thinking? Let me know when you figure it out too.Raisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464415514868743879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569943539759761270.post-58068028715251012882008-09-24T11:28:00.000-05:002008-09-24T11:28:00.000-05:00This is an interesting problem.

As a student, I have to say that I am not really offended if someone (faculty) wears buttons, t-shirts or sports some other kind of political advertisement. I am more offended when partisan ideas are shoved down my throat in the form of carefully crafted assignments and readings or heavily biased lectures. I think instructors should be respectful of and sensitive to the political diversity of their students.Beth's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911299424747643893noreply@blogger.com
