UMass-Amherst abandons free-speech rights

Pete Chagnon - OneNewsNow

An organization that defends individual liberty in education is taking issue with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

Last month UMass-Amherst came under fire for its treatment of conservative columnist Don Feder. Feder was invited by a conservative school club to give a presentation, but was unable to do so after student protestors heckled him off stage while university officials stood by. Now another censorship issue is brewing on the campus after student protestors stole copies of a conservative newspaper and blocked its distribution on campus.

Falsely arrested KS pastor wins lawsuit

Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow

A Wichita, Kansas, pastor has won a battle over free speech.

In June 2007, Mark Holick, pastor of Spirit One Christian Center, and 30 members of his congregation traveled to a downtown park where a homosexual festival was under way. They hoped to spread the message of salvation and the power to leave the 'gay' lifestyle through Christ. They were accosted by police who told them they could not conduct their business, even outside the park.
