Protest Controversy at UCSB

I saw another article saying there is a university condition to being able to use the ‘free speech zone’ that they have to file with the administration and also post warning signs before people come into sight that there are going to be graphic images, and the group apparently did neither. Since the video doesn’t actually show what happened and how the teacher got the sign, and since the other accounts refute a considerable amount of what the pro life group said (anyone see bloody gouges from fingernails in that video?) I’m wondering if the sign wasn’t simply confiscated as being in violation of University regulations of place and manner of speech.

LOL! @dietz199 That’s sure how I remember it. There are all kinds of people at all large universities, and there will be protests when people feel strongly, but UCSB students seem to have other things to do than protest, more often than not.

@Lilliana330 I don’t think anyone was opposing the viewpoint being expressed, just the manner. Apparently this is a militantly radical group calling itself Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust and they use shock tactics, which by definition, aren’t popular.
