Court to decide whether campus evangelism a crime Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 11/23/2008 5:00:00 AMBookmark and Share
The so-called "free-speech code" of Yuba Community College District is under federal court scrutiny.
California student, Ryan Dozier, decided to spend some time on campus sharing his faith and handing out tracts to fellow students, generating conversations about Christianity. Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) attorney Heather Hacker comments on the situation. "A campus police officer came over and told him that if he continued to do so without a permit that he would be possibly expelled or arrested, and so Ryan stopped immediately," she explains. Hacker says Dozier thought the case was closed, but he was apparently mistaken. "Three weeks later he got a certified letter from the president of the college stating that his actions were the subject of a campus crime report," she adds. "Last time I checked, sharing your faith on a public college campus was not a crime." But the letter informed him he could face expulsion if he shared his faith on campus again. ADF filed suit, and a federal judge has ordered the college to suspend enforcement of its highly restricted free speech policies until the lawsuit is resolved.

That should just about cover it... Although in these circumstances we were not even preaching (well the first visit we did).

Yes, continue preaching like a bunch of chickens with your head cut off and continue to draw mobs to you. Police will break it all up and send you home to prevent a riot.
Can I come over to your house and call you all sorts of names since you guys come to our campuses and do the same?
