Petition to remove Angela Davis from Tech speaker lineup

[lys]

She is getting paid to speak. She has all the freedom to speak as does anyone else. However, since she is being "hired" to speak, more people (students) have the right to give input on how their $$ will be used.

I could go with less PC control of speech in general.

Now, would this author have the same point of view on freedom of speech if the speaker was a radical Right Wing Republican? I think we already know what happened when Ann Coulter arrived to give a speech at a left leaning college.

I gotta go with Lys on this one. The students have the right to give input. Just like whatever school it was and Condi Rice. I'm too lazy to look it up. -
