Students (Actually) For (Real) Academic Freedom

Get their asses kicked, apparently.

From The Nation:

Khan, 27, a four-year Air Force veteran and a junior at GMU, had been walking through the Johnson Center on September 29 when he saw a Marine recruiter. He made up a sign, "Recruiters lie. Don't be deceived," and silently stood next to the recruiter's table. Less than thirty minutes later he found himself in the chokehold. Backup police dragged Khan from the building, and one of them pulled out pepper spray. "I'm being nonviolent, and this officer is going to pepper-spray me! If you have a cell phone, please take a picture," Khan says he shouted. Aimee Wells, a junior and a library staffer, says she pulled out her camera-phone and the officer put away the canister, saying, "Don't worry. Nobody's getting pepper-sprayed today."

Thanks, War Party. In what is perhaps the one real democratic institution - public ed. - you've successfully injected your goddamned mind herpes. Students getting smacked around for peacefully protesting the presence of your manipulative, tenacious army recruiters - you call this freedom? Leave us alone - we're trying to learn to fix what you people fucked up, not add to it. Get your dirty asses away from our campuses.
