Free speech group flags First Amendment violations
We read:
"Banning the sale of wine because of a nude, bike-riding nymph on the label of the bottle.
Confining campus protests to a ‘free-speech patio.’
Keeping street performers off the Las Vegas Strip.
Those were some of the actions that the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression cited Tuesday in awarding its ‘Muzzle’ awards.”
The Virginia Department of Corrections won a Muzzle for denying inmate Kyle Mabe a compact disc containing audio of a Christian sermon, which the center said violated his constitutional rights of free speech and religious freedom. The corrections department has since decided to revise its policy to allow inmates to order religious CDs, effective June 1.

If it is the goal of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression to eliminate this practice, they're going to need an office on every campus in the country. And that's just for starters.

I bet there are some Muslims there who are going to seek the path to fundamentalism through the religious teachings of extremist Saudi imams after this decision. Just think about it, terrorist training camps on US soil. How very convenient.
