Young Fascists at work. Fascists have always found it easy to recruit youth.
"Students have vowed to block North Carolina State University's Free Expression Tunnel until the university's chancellor gives guarantees that no hate speech will be allowed there.
About 40 students painted the tunnel black overnight to protest racist and homophobic graffiti involving President Barack Obama painted there earlier this week. Slurs and the name "Obama" were painted over the picture of a black man.
"It's about the N-word. It's not about Obama. It's about racism, period," N.C. State sophomore Monique Bonds said.
The protesters also stood locked arm-in-arm, sang and prevented anyone from passing through the tunnel.
N.C. State students are allowed to paint the Free Expression Tunnel with images and words commenting on any issue. The tunnel is also a major thoroughfare through campus.

Graffiti defaming Christians and conservatives would be OK of course

Free Speech is often understood as "Free to Agree with Me" Speech.
"Students have vowed to block North Carolina State University's Free Expression Tunnel until the university's chancellor gives guarantees that no hate speech will be allowed there."
So just what about "free speech" don't these Liberals understand? The Constitution says NOTHING about hate speech, only freedom of speech. Sounds like a major confrontation will be required before anyone actually does anything about it.

Almost anything can be construed as hate speech. You ether live with free speech and someone will be offended or you don't have free speech and you have a closed minded society.
Tunnel vision?
"Should the university issue a list of appropriate topics for the tunnel? Perhaps it’s ok to complain against Christianity but not Islam? Maybe it’s fine to whine about male chauvinism but not man-hating feminism? Can we paint a pro-choice message but not an aborted fetus?"

The fact that the university needs to have special "free speech zones" is as damning as the fact that students think free speech isn't unless the speech is in agreement with their ideas.

Adolescence, both natural and extended, is narcissistic; so is fascism.
where is a jihadist when you need one, these little nazis would be a perfect bomb target.
To a leftist any speech with which they agree is free speech. Anything with which they disagree is hate speech because they hate it.
Anon 7:34 - excellent point. One wonders if they realize just what is said when they must dedicate one small area as a 'free speech' area.
Free speech for me but not for thee...
These kids are exercising their right to free speech. Obviously the irony is lost on them.
The truly sad thing, and the greatest danger to our country, freedoms, and liberties, is the anti-American atmosphere that permeates our so-called "centers of higher learning". They have become nothing more than indoctrination camps for the radical Left.
