First Amendment? Or What?

So, Hayden Barnes, this punk kid at Valdosta State (In, of course, Valdosta GA), decides to twist the administration's tail a bit. This is VSU's Administration, in the person of the President, right?

Read the whole thing HERE.

Well, the Prez, Ronald Zaccari, decided to expell young Mr. Barnes as a "clear and present danger to this campus".

The "clear and present danger to this campus" consisted of an entry in a FaceBook.com page, a collage with a reference to a "Zaccari Memorial Parking Garage."

Point #1: College students are always getting outraged over something - and flapping their jaws about it, whatever it is.

Point #2: College presidents are the face of The Administration. Good Heavens, they might even get mocked!

Point #3: His Eminence Zaccari needs to get over himself.

I mean, Mr. Barnes could have referred to the Prez as "The Little Zucchini", right?

Mr. Barnes gets a hearing on 26 November, which means that THIS quarter/semester is completely shot to doll rags.

The Little Zucchini has, with malice aforethought, laid VSU (and the taxpayers of Georgia, which means me) open to a whopping great lawsuit and judgement based on the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States - and that, my friends, really annoys me.

Why shouldn't it? After all, it IS my money, right?
