Colleges are all about free speech if that speech bashes conservatives and Chapman University is no exception.
The school has declared vandalism defacing the busts of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Albert Schweitzer, Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand can stay citing the student’s freedom of speech.
“Ronald Reagan is under student review due to Racism, Classism, and Homophobia,” read the caption accompanied by yellow caution tape under the bust of the former president.
The know-it-all students accused the others of “charges” like “Global violence, imperialism, gender roles, homophobia and even white savior complex,” according to Campus Reform.
“All Chapman University students and faculty are encouraged to speak their minds and express their personal opinions, both privately and in public forums, on any topics they wish,” Chapman university spokeswoman Mary Platt told Campus Reform.
“Sometimes those topics may not necessarily reflect the beliefs and viewpoints of the institution or its leaders, but the University strongly supports the right of free expression for members of our learning community and welcomes the opportunity to engage in respectful dialogue.”
She added that “Because the statues in question were not vandalized, but simply have signage placed on them – and although university policy states that all signage on campus must be authorized – the university administration acknowledges the students’ right to express their views and will allow the signage to remain until the end of the week, when staff typically remove unauthorized or outdated signage on campus.”
Platt told Campus Reform that the original vandals intentions appear to be backfiring on them as
“Right now the signage seems to be running about 2 to 1 against the viewpoints of the original posters.”
