"Students are afraid to speak on campus." Well, that's the whole point, isn't it? And successful it is. Like Orwell pointed out, tolerance is really intolerance. Newspeak is real, and it's here now.

+StereoSpace Absolutely. And, as the Liberal (Mainstream) News Media says, American wars are "peacekeeping actions." Perfect Newspeak. Couldn't be any clearer. And warmth is dangerous in our ongoing Ice Age. So funny it hurts.

Yeah, the first time I ever heard of "free speech zones", was when GWB was President and at his re-election convention, there were free speech zones.

Great work you guys!!!!

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.” - Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army Well Done, Soldier!

Drew Kelley Sounds like something a self-serving war-monger would write to justify his complicity in America's criminal and never-ending Wars of Empire. Actually, IT IS the reporter, the poet, and the campus organizer that are vital to keeping our Democracy strong! While the young man in this video made the (IMO) immoral decision to align with a criminal and bloated military "so that he would have some money for college," I still defend his right to practice free speech once he comes to his senses and returns home.

Hey guys. I just thought of this really innovative way of dealing with speech you don't like. It's called "ignoring it."

Thanks, man, for stepping up!

Awesome!

Yes... it is part of a club... .a club called US citizen ship.... of which you and I and the students, security Guard, and all college officials and administrators are part of....

Thank you young man.

I'm glad most of the Main Stream Media supports your actions. As a journalist, you'll probably fall in line with them perfectly.

I'm glad neither campus I've ever attended had a free-speech zone. We did have to reserve rooms and such for club events, but there were many options for us.

Good for you Rob!!

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. 2nd Amendment. If someone tries to suppress your right to free speech as expressed in the 1st Amendment, isn't the 2nd Amendment the means to protect the rights of the people in order to keep it a free State?

He should have been awarded 1 billion dollars that would make another university think twice

Great video but I have to say, totally off topic, I really like his t-shirt.

There are many on the right and left that dont understand the 1st Amendment.

The entire Earth is a free speech zone.

According to the USA's founding documents, it already is one big FreeSpeech Zone, and only tyrants are ILLEGALLY restricting freespeech in certain areas are violating this & other "natural rights," and thus it is your right -- and duty -- to fight them for denying your "natural rights" as you see proper, including violently.

I agee. Speking campus. Free speech modesto.

'free speech zone' like 1984.

Free speech? Free speech isn't free if you have to ask. Well said sir. 2019 and I haven't seen anything change.

why are these lawsuits happening there should never be a climate politically or socially where FREE speech is restricted to a specific zone, in fact the U.S constitution designates that any and all U.S claimed territory to include our states and of shore outposts as free speech zones. In other words any U.S territory is a giant continuous free speech zone.

Doesn’t he mean that it’s fifty thousand times better now? (7:16)

The best way to have Free speech is merely to speak Freely.... and if the authorities have a problem with it, then it is their problem to deal with, not the free speakers problem at all. In the end the best speech will "Win" if it is truly the best speech; of course, you prolly already know this.

This sort of policy is ridiculous.

This guy is also a military veteran to boot

You think freedom of speech sucks at MJC, wait till you check out the Math Department!

an army vet not allowed to pass out the constitution of the united states in the united states on united states tax payer funded land on constitution day. how the heck can that in any way, shape, or fashion be looked upon in anyway but as unconstitutional and unamerican?

Oh ya, Kafka.

Rob, if you read this: I'm curious to know what you think what have been an appropriate restriction on your speech, on the administration's part. Obviously you thought they made you jump through too many hoops to express your message but, does a public school possess any right to spell out how and when people speak and distribute items? I'm feeling that the answer is somewhere in the middle and that the real substance of your claim was that MJC created an unnecessary burden.

they wouldn't let him hand out the constitution of the united states on a u.s. tax payer funded campus and you think there is a middle ground for that? this protects all free speech on that campus regardless of the politics involved. college should be a place where your values and politics are meant to be challenged. not to change your mind but to allow you to learn how to openly support and defend your convictions in a proper manner. being shielded from dissenting voices does not do you any good as a student or a citizen. being shielded from the dissenting view is why you see videos of 23 year old ivy league juniors crying instead of debating when they are challenged. maybe it is just me but it seems as though people in this country are openly welcoming totalitarianism. if they are not welcoming it they are at least complacent about it creeping into our lives.

WTF? Is this world going insane? Is this satire?

Joelcalderon love u.s contaitions rights speaking view the city and college

so much for free speech

People needed s. Hot a long time ago. While it’s never too late, it doesn’t look good.

I am all about free speech, but aren't we talking about a Jr College?? (the13th grade) in MODESTO?? I think you might be going too far, next you will think all junior college kids should have full rights - and that is just crazy talk;)

you are so f'ing right. certain groups of americans do not deserve the same rights as other groups of americans do. we need watchdog groups in america to make sure that the proper people are given their proper rights and that the others don't try to get the rights they are undeserving of. we should probably even segregate those people we don't want getting their share of undeserved freedoms. separate schools, separate water fountains, ect. at the very least we should make them wear a symbol on their clothes so those people can be easily identified and dealt with accordingly.

Hate speech should be allowed on campus

Horrifying. Remember when Joe McCarthy was considered a nut for seeing communism in public schools? Still think he was a nut? I think anyone who doesn't see it tofday is a nut.
