What is the world is going on in this wacked out nation called America, and why do we treat college students as guilty before proven innocent.
Vain Offering
Value The Lambskin, Squeeze The Oil Out From The Wool, Curse The Sacrifice
I can't vouch one way or another for this. However I give everyone the right to make their own decisions, by passing on information. So inform away people!

November 30, 2005 Dear Friend, Seven students at Hampton University face possible expulsion in a hearing this Friday for peaceful political protest on campus. Join Howard Zinn, Michael Eric Dyson and Katha Pollitt in signing a statement in their defense (below). Also, please call the HU Dean of Men at 757-727-5303 and the HU Dean of Women at 757-727-5486 to demand that these students NOT be expelled. A bit of background: On November 2nd, protests were held in over 70 cities with participation from more than 200 schools. These were initiated by The World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime (worldcantwait.org) which has been endorsed by Harold Pinter, Russell Banks, Cindy Sheehan, Studs Terkel, Gore Vidal, Cornel West, Howard Zinn, Michael Eric Dyson and many others. Students at Hampton gathered in the Student Union on November 2nd to hold a gathering of poetry and speeches, but the event was shut down by Hampton Police. Students' IDs were taken, their faces were video-taped without their consent, and later several of these students received disciplinary letters. The Hampton Administration has accused students of breaking several codes of conduct, including a rule about cajoling or proselytizing students, "distribution of unauthorized materials" and "the policy on student demonstrations." Press coverage of this can be viewed at: Daily Press, local Virginia Newspaper, November 23: http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-26621sy0nov23,0,6983144.story?track=mostemailedlink
