The example set here in Wisconsin

by University policy is like saying " you can say what you want as long as it doesn't bother anybody and as long as it doesn't make anybody change what they're doing". Also you can't have your signs on sticks (unless of course you are supporting the police, the football team etc.) and you cannot do anything to amplify the sound of your group (unless of course you are supporting the police or the football team).

Please note that all of you students are required to view the GQP approved instruction module regarding conduct. Not like indoctrination or anything. Just a required acceptance of what a political party thinks is right and wrong.

" How dare you call that indoctrination???!!! Let me see that student ID and I mean right now!!! OK. Hands behind your back!!
No I don't have to tell you why, what you did or where you're being taken!! (Three gut wrenching thuds to the head with a
nightstick later and a radio call from the cop to HQ radio static and then) Officer needs assistance with protestor on State Street.................... (later....discussion with fellow officers for official report) He wouldn't comply and I was scared for my life. You know him being a student and all. If he regains consciousness you can tell him none of this would have happened if he would have just shut his mouth and done what he was told."
