Ahhh yes, Students at the University of Missouri have been told in an email that they should report hurtful or hate speech to police. This of course comes on the heels of cowardly moves by their former President and Chancellor to resign after a protest named Concerned Student 1950 flipped their emotional skulls upside down over some individuals spouting some racist comments and such on campus.
The University is threatening to take disciplinary action upon any individual using their freedom of speech as long as they deem it hate speech or hurtful speech.. This is in direct conflict with the First Amendment of the US Constitution which trumps University policy. This is the sort of catalyst that can lead to attacks on Christians, Pro-Life activists, and Limited Government Supporters. Anything that would "trigger" or cause someone to be offended and if agreed upon by the university could fall within these parameters. This behavior by authorities can never lead to anything good.
Then you have this Debbie Wasserman Shultz look a like and wanna be that apparently teaches on campus that attempted to "get muscle" to remove reporters from an area where the protests were taking place which represents further disdain for the First Amendment freedom of the press on public property.
