College Republicans Do Not Have to Lie


The Student Senate of the University of Rhode Island (URI)did the right thing. They refused to accept a proposal to derecognize the College Republicans. Further, the College Republicans do not have to apologize for their farcical satire that advertised "scholarships" for white, heterosexual, American males.

Hurray for Freedom of Speech. No compelled speech (forced apology) at URI.

Of course, the SOARC, otherwise known as the Student Organizations Advisory and Review Committee were likely upset, as this oversight committee had directed the College Republicans to either publically apologize (to whom? and for what) or face derecognition.

See FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) for more, including the letters that went back and forth.
