"Tolerance" Crowd Intolerant at PSU. Will PSU Leadership Condemn This?

November 9, 2007

The children going to Portland State University apparently believe that tolerance and free speech end when someone dares speak about something with which they disagree. As usual, they have vandalized a legitimate bulletin board put up by the PSU COLLEGE REPUBLICANS.
The President of the College Republicans tells me:

On Wednesday November 7th 2007, we as college republicans set up a display case in the main hallway of Smith Memorial Hall (our Student Center). The display included several different pieces of CR literature including announcements of our meeting times and contact information. The display also included 4 posters provided to us by the Young Americans foundation with a variety of content ranging from “The true victims of Che Guevara” to a poster dealing with the death tolls from historical communist regimes. Throughout the week many students have shown interest in the display and some have contacted the group inquiring more. On Friday morning November 9th at about 10am the display was found vandalized. Someone had taken a blue permanent marker and written “F*** THIS” [spelled out–blogger edits for potty talk] across one panel of the glass as well as stuck chewing gum to the outside of the glass. In addition there was a sheet of paper entitled “Bull**** Alert” [spelled out–blogger edits for potty talk] placed into the case in a manner that it blocked the contact information for the group. As a student group we have been in contact with our adviser and other PSU Faculty to get an official letter condemning this sort of unacceptable behavior. However as PSU CR’s we are motivated by this action and will continue our fight in defense of conservative principles and values in higher education. We encourage all of you to share this information and let others know what is happening on the Portland State Campus in response to true conservative activism.

**blogger’s note: there were other images with more vandalism, but because I try to keep this blog fairly family safe I chose not to use them**
