Wednesday, July 2, 2003 Educrats Punish Promotion of Black Conservative
The thought police at California Polytechnic State University have found a white student guilty of "disruption" for trying to post a flier in a public area where black students were eating pizza. The flier advertised a talk by a black conservative.
United Press International reported today:
On the evening of Nov. 12, undergraduate Steve Hinkle, a member of the Cal Poly College Republicans, walked into the Multicultural Center on the San Luis Obispo campus to post a flier advertising a speech by Mason Weaver. In his book "It's OK to Leave the Plantation," Weaver argues that dependence on government puts many blacks in circumstances similar to slavery.
The following account of events is extracted from the notes taken by Hinkle's faculty adviser, neuropsychologist Laura Freberg, at a disciplinary hearing Feb. 19. The transcript was obtained by FIRE, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
The case at Cal Poly is part of a larger pattern in which schools have held non-white students' "right" not to be aggrieved, for whatever subjective reason, over the right of free expression. For example, in April FIRE sued Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania because of its speech code, which elevated a "primary right" to be free from "emotional abuse" over a "secondary right" to "express a personal belief system."
In June FIRE helped a student sue Texas Tech University in Lubbock who risked punishment for violating a speech code that bans "communications [that] humiliate any person."
White Presence Not Tolerated
Authorities at Cal Poly say it was not the content of Hickle's flier, but rather his very presence that was "disruptive."
A group of black students were in the area eating pizza before the start of a Bible study session when Hinkle approached the bulletin board. Some of those students recognized the flier and objected. One told Hinkle not to put it up because it was "disrespectful."
Hinkle asked, "How do you know it's disrespectful to everyone?" He invited them to attend the talk.
One student told him to leave or she would call the police. He left without posting the flier. She called police.
'Suspicious White Male'
In a written statement, California State University police officer Alan N. Darrow said he and Cpl. C. Montgomery were dispatched "to investigate a report of a suspicious white male passing out literature of an offensive racial nature." Hinkle was identified later.
In a letter dated Jan. 29, University Judicial Affairs Director Ardith Tregenza notified Hinkle that a student disciplinary hearing was being initiated against him. He was charged with violating subsection (d) of Section 41301 of Title V of the California Code of Regulations, which prohibits "obstruction or disruption, on or off campus property, of the campus education process, administrative process, or other campus function."
No Lawyers for Whites
The university scheduled a disciplinary hearing and informed Hinkle that he could not bring an attorney.
Tregenza wrote that Hinkle could waive his right to a hearing and accept two "recommended sanctions" without admitting that he engaged in the conduct charged. One recommended sanction was to write a letter of apology to the offended students, the contents of which would be subject to the approval of the Office of Judicial Affairs. "There is no parameter or guarantee regarding the confidentiality of the letter sent," Tregenza wrote.
The second recommended sanction was for Hinkle to meet twice with the university ombudsman "to discuss additional approaches to promote your initiatives and additional campus resources and strategies for accomplishing your goals."
Hinkle declined and allowed the hearing to take its course.

My only question is why Hinkle allowed this to happen and why he did not call the local ACLU and make a complaint to them. And, why didn't he bring an attorney, whether they told him not to or not?

This is part of a larger pattern. Whites are busted for putting up fliers: the guy on Long Island, the Bellingham 3, David Wilson of the BNP, and now this Republican fellow. He obviously doesn't get it on race, but may soon. Meanwhile, nigras can rape and loot without fear.
