A setback for the Shariazation of the U.S.: a federal magistrate says that San Francisco State University College Republicans cannot be disciplined for stepping on the flags of terrorist organizations! Why did this ridiculous case ever go to a federal magistrate in the first place? Because the flags bore the name of Allah, of course.
"CSU students not ready to make nice - and they don't have to," by Bob Egelko for the San Francisco Chronicle (thanks to LGF):
The 417,000 students at California State University's 28 campuses are expected to be civil to one another, the university says in its policy manual.It sounds innocuous - but a federal magistrate says it's an unconstitutional restriction on speech when the policy is used to investigate or discipline students, such as the College Republicans whose members stomped on two flags bearing the name of Allah during an anti-terrorism rally at San Francisco State last year.
"It might be fine for the university to say, 'Hey, we hope you folks are civil to one another,' " U.S. Magistrate Wayne Brazil said last week at a hearing in his Oakland courtroom. "But it's not fine for the university to say, 'If you're not civil, whatever that means, we're going to punish you.' "
Brazil said he would issue a preliminary injunction barring the university from enforcing the civility standard in any disciplinary proceeding. He said the university can continue to enforce another rule disputed by the College Republicans - prohibiting intimidation or harassment - but can use the rule to punish students only for threatening someone's health or safety, and not merely for offensive statements or conduct.
A good ruling, but still rather surprising that any judge in the Ninth Circuit would rule this way.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but I admire the College Republicans and the protest actions they take. Nicely done. It's nice to know that the dhimmis are still allowed one or two freedoms.

Two words: Alex Kozinski.
The leftists (everywhere, I might add, not merely those on collegiate campuses) naturally have no problem at all with the burning of, urinating on, or otherwise degrading or destroying the US flag, however. (Ask Vanessa Redgrave for instance).
Tit for tat!
if they (muslims) want to trash our country, and our flag, we can do the same thing right back to them, and they cant say boo.
the ruling makes me happy to live in America, not some god forsaken hole anywhere else in the world.
I Feel like burning the flag of the "kingdom".
