Three University of Houston students who identify as conservative have sued the university, the university system and several university leaders over an anti-harassment policy they claim stifles their free speech.
According to the Houston Chronicle, the three students, who arent named in the lawsuit, are members of a nonprofit organization called Speech First, which has sued several universities across the country over the same issue, including the University of Texas Austin.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs want to engage in speech that is arguably covered by the Universitys policy, but they credibly fear that the expression of their deeply held views will be considered intimidating, denigrating, negative stereotyp[es].
The universitys policy states the following about harassment:
"Harassment Subjecting an individual on the basis of her or his membership in a Protected Class to unlawful severe, pervasive, or persistent treatment that constitutes:
Humiliating, abusive, or threatening conduct or behavior that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual or group;
An intimidating, hostile or abusive learning, living or working environment, or an environment that alters the conditions of learning, living or working; or
An unreasonable interference with an individuals academic or work performance.

(1,962 posts)Worse yet, fascist snowflakes that haven't fucking learned the ol' saying "your rights end where mine begin." But this is what happens when we coddle such scum by saying "They'll grow out of it" and doing nothing to get them to grow out of it. They go from being nasty little kids to nasty adults.
Get over it, qonservative idiots... You're not the victims, and, people have the right to not be harassed or bullied by you.
These students need to be expelled immediately once their identities are discovered.
