In the shadows of the Va Tech shootings, Hamline University in Minnesota sent out emails to it's undergraduates informing them they would be able to talk to counselors for those that needed it.
Troy Scheffler emailed back saying that the University could do a lot by getting rid of it's gun ban (on top of some other choice thoughts).
What does Scheffler get for his troubles? Banned from the University until he was evaluated by a psychologist.
After reading this, what comes to mind are the thought police. Say the wrong thing and you're hauled off to a Siberian gulag for a little "re-education" in the sun of arctic Russia.
Once again, free speech for all, unless you want to say something politically incorrect.
By the way, the irony in this whole fiasco. The University placed a police officer in front of the class Scheffler was to attend. You know what, the policeman had a gun to protect the students.
