I would encourage everyone to scroll down through the judge’s order, and find the letter written by the Chairman to Hiers. It’s a fascinating read. One must assume, being the Chairman of the Math department, that he has received an education to the doctoral level. Yet, throughout the course of his education, he has managed to remained entirely ignorant of the 1A, particularly when it comes to public institutions. Either this, or he believed that he and his fellow leftists are so entrenched, and so control the levers of power, that he can do as he desires without regard to the law. I can fathom no other explanation for such a self-incriminating letter. Professor Hiers must have been doing the Happy Dance when he received it.

And the rest of the country’s legal system? The madness has passed from the universities into the law firms and courtrooms.
Worth a read:

Remember the Warren Zevon song “Send Lawyers Guns and Money”? Looks like we’re left with guns and money (and that’s being inflated away)

However, with the take over of universities and colleges by the left, it is hard to select an institution which is actually supporting the 1st amendment.

The universities I attended have gone totally woke. I had my advanced inorganic chem prof (he became a ski buddy) lament the days when an A meant something (I got an A in his class).

Remember Bill Ayers and those he supported (Barack Obama) and those who supported him (Bill Clinton)!
