At Brown, Friedman Pie-Thrower Suspended

Almost as vague as conspiracy laws

That law must be very useful for the Brown Apparatchiks to punish dissent. I wonder if there is a readmission clause that would allow a student to be left in "Siberia" longer...?

Brown pie thrower

Hurray for a University finally differentiating between peaceful and respectful disagreement on the one hand and blatant interference with the speaker's freedom of speech on the other. One of the shames of modern so called higher education is the absurd and widespread tolerance of rude and disruptive interference with speakers at school sponsored activities. Freedom of speech does not apply solely to dissidents.

My hat is off to Brown and I offer a hearty "shame on you" to the unthinking critic who presumably thinks that "dissent" and "disruption" are synonyms.

Not sure about the seriousness of this pie throwing or how big it is. But Brown overreacted. Btw, your beautiful Alison.
