"A student at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga was forced from his bicycle and charged with inciting a riot Thursday for crossing a coned perimeter around a campus preacher. Now students are calling on the administration to ban the evangelist from campus."
From your link.
"Cantrell said. "As a public campus, we are legally required to provide for the expression of diverse ideas on our campus. We believe that a college campus should be a place for free exchange of ideas and expressions.""
Why wasn't the student allowed free exchange of ideas and expression? He wasn't yelling, and sounded calm, and more respectful than the preacher.
Also, why is a street preacher given a large cordoned off area, and security detail? Does every person who wants to speak get the same? Does the students tuition pay for her security?
He was warned not to invade her "free speech zone" but did it anyway. On a bicycle! What was he going to say to her that he couldn't say from outside the cones?
It's odd that the university gives such accommodation to a non-student, but if the students aren't happy with that arrangement they should take it up with the university not accost the woman.
Yea, I don't get that policy of an outside organization allowed to do what she is doing there. One thing to try to recruit for Christianity but this one sounds more like a Judgmental that wants to just yell out at people. Then the Student with the Paid Tuition gets sprayed and arrested. I dunno.
