    Default YAL university student suspended for calling another student’s legs ‘bleached hams’

    Public university suspends student for calling another student’s legs ‘bleached hams’

    A university inside the suburban sprawl of northeastern New Jersey has suspended a student for comparing another student’s legs to “a pair of bleached hams” in a YouTube comment, reports CBS New York.

    School officials at Montclair State University allegedly determined that Joseph Aziz, a 26-year-old graduate student, violated the school’s student code when he published the derogatory comment.

    The history of the fracas dates back to August, when Aziz showed up at a campus speech by Republican Steve Lonegan along with other members of Young Americans for Liberty, which describes itself as the school’s largest political organization.

    The female student who was the subject of Aziz’s mockery also attended the speech along with a male companion, reports NJ.com. The male companion heckled Lonegan during his speech.

    Someone apparently videotaped the episode and put it on YouTube. Aziz commented twice under the video. The comments allegedly called attention to the weight of both the heckler and the female student.

    YouTube has since deleted the video and its comments.

    “The initial comments were in poor taste and I regret making them,” Aziz told NJ.com. “I was frustrated with what I perceived as an attack on the speaker whose appearance my group sponsored.”

    Such would have concluded one of millions of wonderfully insignificant instances of free speech in the United States but for the fact that someone later reported Aziz’s comments to the taxpayer-funded university.

    Coupla things.

    The rest of the article, fer instance:

    ...On Oct. 9, CBS New York says, officials at Montclair State issued a no-contact order — basically a restraining order — obligating Aziz to avoid “written, verbal, or electronic contact; physical or ‘in-person’ contact, or contact by third parties” with the female student. The order also barred Aziz from contacting the other student on social media, and even mentioning her on social media.

    If Aziz did not comply, the order warned, he would face legal action.

    Later, Aziz posted comments about his travails in a private Facebook group — wholly unrelated to the school. “Insults are also illegal if the person gets offended,” he said in the Facebook group “Oceanian Troll Order,” according to CBS New York. He also claimed to love “trolling” online.

    Anything you say can be used against you if you "find yourself" in trouble with The Law.

    What law? What right does a university have to order someone to refrain from free speech?

    Sooo, in the manner of a Theorist, you would like to argue this real-life predicament from Square One...not "merely" whether THIS exercise of university authority passes legal muster, but whether the university can regulate/infringe/censor ANY speech. Fear not, PLENTY of lawyers stand ready to "duke that out"...if you can pony up the fees.

    Bearing PICK YOUR BATTLES in mind,

    ...officials at Montclair State issued a no-contact order — basically a restraining order — obligating Aziz to avoid “written, verbal, or electronic contact; physical or ‘in-person’ contact, or contact by third parties” with the female student.

    ^^ this constitutes BORROWING TROUBLE.

    He wasn't ordered to not criticize "The Left" or "The Government". He received a (ridiculously peecee) restraining order regarding a particular civilian, and her fat friend. Liberty requires Discipline...bummer, but there you have it. That "authorities" should not be ABLE to do much of what they do is academic, unless/until reforms occur &/or people rebel.

    That Government is doing things it ought not do is precisely why NOT getting caught up in the meat grinder is a steady objective.
