Hey, everyone! The First Amendment won, thanks to help from Browncoats and other right-thinking people who protested the original absurd reaction by the university. Read here to find out more about how it's been resolved:

Our BDHs, Nathan and Adam, contributed to the fight against the university's censorship. Good for them!

Maybe somebody should send her some screen-caps from Trash.
Meanwhile , any of you Browncoats from Wisconsin, keep an eye on the University, and in particular, keep an eye on this re-education they're going to do on free speech rights and responsibilities. Make sure it isn't privately " Your right to free speech stops where the University says no, and your responsibility is to not embarass the college when it does something DUMB."

Glad to see free speech win out. How shiny is it that Nathan and Adam both got personally involved to right this wrong?

That is a scary story: a university chief of police threatening criminal charges for putting up a Firefly poster. Glad it ended well. And yes, we have some pretty damn cool BDHs.

In light of the deaths at Va Tech as well as Columbine etc it was a ridiculously poor choice to make. There are all kinds of worthy quotes that could have been used. We have the right of free speech, doesn't mean we should always use it.
