No Freedom of the Press

Apparently freedom of the press doesn't apply to everyone -- not even the press.

According to the Herald Sun, one Jillian Bandes, student and writer for the taxpayer-funded student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, was fired for writing a column for the OPINION section of the newspaper that the editors didn't like.

The editors give some other incredibly lame excuse for her firing, but in fact she was fired because she dared to support racial profiling in her OPINION piece. She DARED to state the FACT that Arabs are

members of an ethnicity that is responsible for almost every act of terror committed against the West in the recent past.

I bet another thing that really annoyed the ultra-liberals at the University of North Carolina was this little tidbit:

You can debate a lot of things about post-9/11 foreign policy, but one thing you can’t debate is that taking out terrorists — or blatant human-rights violators — is a good thing.

But sorry, you're not free to state such obvious facts in today's world. Keep in mind, this "publication" is 100% financed by taxpayer dollars -- and that's wrong. The easy solution? Get government the heck out of education, completely.

And there's more!

The University of Florida "administration" is complaining about an editorial cartoon that shows how stupid "rapper" Kayne is when complaining about Bush. In the cartoon, Condi Rice appears annoyed with the rapper who is holding up "the race card." At least in this case, the administration has not fired the author of the editorial cartoon...yet.

The most ironic part of this one is that Kayne IS playing the race card and Condelezza Rice IS saying he's an idiot -- and the people complaining are saying the cartoon "perpetuates negative stereotypes of black people." Hello, stupid idiots? THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS. It's not the cartoon that's perpetuating the negative stereotypes, it's KAYNE! Morons.

There is no room for truth in this country any more. Today it's speak the truth and get fired. How far are we from speaking the truth and going to jail? Canada's already there.
