Word on the street: Dean Burton v the First Amendment

Word on the street is that this morning Dean Burton and Charles Johnson attempted to take down the moment of silence display on the first floor because the organizers had not gotten her permission. According to some, she seemed uninterested in the fact that the organizers had received permission from all of the groups whose boards were covered and the event included a wide cross-section of student groups. The display was to be up for five days but the Dean said it could only be up for one. I guess we'll see if it is still up tomorrow.

We may not be first amendment experts, but it seems like Dean Burton was out of line.

Thankfully, Dean Burton's actions did not hamper the moment of silence/spiritual gathering that was an "expression of remorse and frustration for the instability and violence in the Middle East and pray for peace, dignity, and prosperity to become a reality for all people on the ground."
