Wisconsin student labeled ‘disruptive’ for passing out ‘Jesus loves you’ valentines takes a stand

Campus Reform: A Wisconsin student sued her school on Tuesday after the administration labeled her a “disruptive student” for handing out Valentine’s Day cards reading “Jesus loves you.”

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) student Polly Olsen sued her school for what she termed an “unconstitutional” Public Assembly Policy, according to a lawsuit obtained by Campus Reform.

NWTC restricts what it deems as “disruptive” free expression and free speech, as protected by the First Amendment, to a tiny box on campus that makes up less than one percent of the campus. Olsen described the school’s “free speech zone” as “about the size of two buses next to each other,” highlighting the fact that no one “congregates there, they just walk through,” something she suggested prohibited her from having meaningful conversations with others.

Olsen said that her inspiration to hand out valentines came from her mother, who, before her passing, gave them out to provide hope to those who most needed it, when speaking with Campus Reform. The student said that the past few years have been hard, as her mom died and her brother broke his neck, while Olsen, herself, has been homeless.

“Since my mother’s passing, I have carried on the tradition in her memory,” the student said.   more here

  1. But a college will allow a girl to drag a mattress around the campus and across the graduation stage. Need anymore proof that colleges and universities are passing out stupid pills?

    (BTW — One may interpret a girl with a mattress on her back in more than one way.)

  2. @AA,Thought it was just me who imagined her protest took a turn for the worse when she started carrying her trade around on her back.
    Speaking of turns, the worm just did, in NWTC.

  3. A buyer, at a government title store. Hiring government apparatchiks to juggle papers with other government apparatchiks. Like a zombie slap fight, I may be amused to watch, but I can’t really be concerned.
