If a girl is very much pregnant and can't come to school, there's no reason to risk herself and the baby by coming to school.
But it's her fault if she got pregnant, which no high school-ers should. I'm not saying maternity leaves shouldn't be allowed, I'm saying they shouldn't be needed in the first place.
Maybe it's not her fault :O
Nah, it probably is. But kids in high school can be up to 21 years old, and humans have sex. Sometimes sex gets you pregnant. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's not wrong either.
True, maybe it's just our society that's messed up. In older civilizations, people normally got married and had kids in their mid-late teens.
Yes, but life spans are longer and kids are staying with their parents longer too. So it would only make sense that they mature at a slower rate, rather than nature's usual "live fast, reproduce young, make millions of babies" method.
i like how the user "a_fetus" upvoted your comment :P
Same with abortions
Completely unnecessary comment. All you are going to do is start up the same debates we've all seen countless times before. I don't even understand why because I think we all know that it never changes anyone's mind.
You almost got me going there for a minute too.
Same with abortions
It's also the "fault" of a woman in her early thirties, starting a family, who also has a career.
Should she also be denied maternity leave, because it's "her fault"?
We are talking about high school students here, who don't have any of those things. Of course the woman that you describe deserves maternity leave, but it shouldn't be necessary for 14-18 year olds.
That's like saying that someone's who's had a drug overdose should still have to come into school.
lol, no it's not.
Well it sort of is. The drug overdose was their fault, so why shouldn't they have to come into school?
The drug overdose does not involve taking care of a developing human being nor does it last 9 months.
Maternity leave doesn't last 9 months, and a drug overdose sort of requires you to not die, and you're sort of a human being.
It's not like I said "being pregnant is the same as a drug overdose".
Yes but you were comparing maternity leave and drug overdosing.
"Sort of" is not a very good defense. Either way, drug overdosing usually only effects you. Being on maternity leave effects another innocent person.
So what you're saying is that someone deserves maternity leave more than they deserve to go to a hospital from a drug overdose?
My sister substitutes and she told me that one day a girl said she had to take the baby bus. My sister thought she mean't the, you know, "short" bus..but no, literally, the bus for underage mothers so they can go take care of their kids...
Where I live, if you're pregnant in highschool you go to adult school or independent studies. It's not really "maternity leave", because everyone has the option to do independent studies or adult school.
A lot of girls get pregnant in my school. It's not even really acknowledged anymore.
I was going to ask: 'Does this count for the teachers as well?'
This is just wrong. Who cares if they're too young to get pregnant? Think about the health and well-being of the girl and the child. It wouldn't be fair to not let a mother or expecting mother take maternity leave just because she's "too young".
Why should it even concern you? You're not the one with the baby and you're not the one who needs time off from school to take care of it. This is just stupid.
That'd be like saying it's normal and okay for teenagers to get pregnant. There's no point in blaming the girl for getting pregnant, and it's also not fair to risk her or her child's life, but making life easier for pregnant teenagers will only result in more pregnant teenagers.
Also, I think some teenagers can be so idiotic they'd go ahead and get pregnant just to get "time off"

Hi Stephane, please tell us, what is Voxeet all about and what do you do?
Stephane Giraudie, CEO of Voxeet: Voxeet is an improvement to conference calls so radical that it's hard to imagine going back to archaic audio bridges or spotty P2P services. Despite the fact that conference calls can be an awful experience, there has been little or no innovation over the past decade.
Those days are over. Voxeet solves those daily frustrations and enables teams to have crystal clear, relaxed and more productive conversations, and feel like they are talking around a table. We call this Natural Conferencing, and once you've tried Voxeet, you'll never go back.
What business or technology could yours disrupt?
Giraudie: Existing audio conferencing is still in the Dark Ages, relying on the same old technology invented over a century ago by Alexander Graham Bell - even with over 100 billion minutes used each year on traditional audio-only teleconferences. This is a huge market that is poised for disruption!
Voxeet's radical improvements for group voice conferencing are designed to displace free audio conferencing solutions and provide a high-quality, lower-cost alternative to Web conferencing and deliver business-quality and reliability not available in today's VoIP solutions. Once you've tried Voxeet, you'll never go back.
So how is your conference call solution different from audio bridges and peer-to-peer solutions?
Voxeet is unique and distinct from anything else in the market in three ways:
- One, high-definition audio and sound algorithms reduce background noise and echo, eliminate over-talk and boost quality, making your conference calls crystal-clear. It's so immersive and so good that you'll forget you're on the phone and focus on the conversation.
- Two, high speaker recognition with immersive 3D sound and visual cues always identifies who's talking. Speakers' voices with visual cues follow their avatars around your screen so you always know who's talking.
- Finally, high mobility lets you transfer calls from your computer to your mobile with a single click. You can also initiate conference calls as easily.
What are you launching now?
Giraudie: We are launching Voxeet mobile apps for iPhone and Android. These killer business and social productivity apps offer natural group communication and the same crystal-clear, 3D-immersive sound and one-click transfer that won us a DemoGod Award.
We've also added "wow" functionalities like our new "whisper mode" for having private conversations during conference calls and Facebook integration to make it super-easy to import contacts.
Who is your target audience and how do you intend to reach them?
Giraudie: Voxeet is the ideal solution for people who regularly conduct conference calls.
What are you general thoughts on conferencing market trends?
Giraudie: This is a huge market where, every year, 100 billion minutes are spent on traditional audio-only teleconferences. However, they can be a terrible experience. This will impact the rising number of distributed team and increasingly mobile and remotely working team collaboration. An important market trends are also new possibilities that the expansion of 4G networks and VoLTE offer.
What is the viral aspect of your product?
Giraudie: Our product is viral in its essence. Users need to share the application with their contacts in order to use it. Our Facebook and phonebook integration will ease this process. In addition, we are adding some fun by introducing a referral program where users can redeem gifts like headsets as they invite contacts.
How will you make money? What's the business model?
Giraudie: In the first half of next year, we will offer a premium service for users interested in additional features, such as collaborative tools, increased security and additional usage.
Who are your competitors?
Giraudie: Our competitors include Skype and other peer-to-peer solutions, free audio conferencing, expensive Web conferencing services and archaic audio bridges with codes and pins and other hassles.
How do you differentiate from Skype? Would Skype be able to offer a business service like yours to their vast user base?
Giraudie: Skype relies on a peer-to-peer architecture that makes call quality very unreliable, making it difficult to use for business. The quality of 3D sound is not going to be possible on a peer-to-peer architecture. In fact, only a fraction of Skype users are businesses.
Voxeet's technology was designed from the ground up and optimized for business-quality conference calls. Skype mashes together simultaneous sounds, making it impossible to have a conversation with multiple participants. Our technology reproduces the way the brain analyzes sound, making it as natural as a face-to-face conversation.
How can you compete with free offers like Freeconference.com?
Giraudie: Our Discovery version is free as well, but our value proposition is crystal-clear, 3D-immersive sound for better calls and increased productivity.
How do you differentiate from mobile VoIP Services?
Giraudie: Most of the mVoIPs are consumer focused and for one-to-one conversations. Voxeet is focused on business and group conferencing, where high quality is a must.
How does your technology differ from the competition and can you elaborate on the different technology deployed?
Giraudie: Voxeet is built around a hybrid model knowing not everything can be handled through a browser just yet. We have and are building rich native clients (PC, Android, iPhone and Mac coming) that are allowing us to provide a much better user experience along with premium sound quality for conference call participants mixed with a powerful and scalable cloud architecture on EC2 that handles conferences, users, and more.
Who founded the company, and when? What can you tell me about the story of the company's founding?
Giraudie: The co-founders are Larry Fornallaz, CTO, Benoit Sénard, VP of Product Management and I am the CEO. In our previous work lives, we all worked with international team and conference call were a constant. We found that experience awful and knew there had to be a better way. We founded Voxeet in 2009. Voxeet is an international company with teams in both Silicon Valley and Bordeaux, France.
We launched Voxeet for PCs at DEMO Spring 2012, where we won a DEMOgod award and were named Forbes & PC Magazine favorites. That was very encouraging.
What is your distribution model? Where to buy your product?
Giraudie: The "discovery" edition is available for free on our website and the iPhone and Android versions are available on app markets for free. The PRO edition, which will be based both on usage and premium functionalities, will be available in the first half of next year for a nominal fee.
What's next on your product roadmap?
Giraudie: With our PC version available, Android and iPhone apps just released, and Mac version in development, Voxeet is about to become a true cross-platform application. We are also working on our PRO edition that will offer more collaboration tools, added security and more wow functionalities.
Voxeet just won the grand prize of theAppIngniter challenge by Bandwidth's inetwork. Please tell us what the USD600K in services signify for Voxeet.
Giraudie: Winning the Voice App Igniter Challenge will help extend our technology to support dial-up from landlines and cell phones, making it possible to completely replace old-style audio conferencing with Voxeet. Imagine the possibilities when you have the power and simplicity of Natural Conferencing to make your team collaboration and customer conferences as clear and productive as face-to-face meetings. Having access to up to one million free phone numbers will propel Voxeet to another level and make Voxeet ubiquitous, while helping millions of people enjoy natural conversations, dramatically improving their collaboration experience.
You are also active on KickStarter? How much money is being sought, what is it going to be used for?
Giraudie: We are in the process of starting a campaign there and would like to raise funds to help us develop and launch our Mac version. With a Mac version, we'll be a true cross-platform application, we want to make Voxeet universal so that anybody can call in and participate in a Voxeet conference call.
Are you also targeting a first VC round? If yes, when, and what will you use the funds for? How much money is being sought?
Giraudie: We are raising a seed round to continue funding our development efforts and help us accelerate customer acquisition.
What about security?
Giraudie: As we are targeting business users and businesses in particular, security is very important to us. Voxeet is already secure as, unlike other solutions, we keep separate tracks for each participant's voice, making it hard to capture the whole conversation. We are planning to add full encryption to our PRO edition.
What is your take on the WebRTC initiatives?
Giraudie: We following the WebRTC initiatives very closely. We are already using some of the WebRTC components.
What else would you like to add?
Giraudie: We are really excited to make Voxeet available on mobile devices. Once you experience Voxeet, it's hard to imagine going back, and now mobile workers and teams should enjoy:
- High Quality - The voice quality is crystal-clear
- High Speaker Recognition - You always know who's speaking
- High Mobility - One click transfers to your cell phone

It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Fisher tangles with dog and its owner
James Maranto and his cockapoo, Bentley, kneel down next to the bird feeder where the two got into a scuffle with a fisher Tuesday night. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He had just brought the trash out around 8 p.m. Tuesday with Bentley, his 10-month-old cockapoo, and was returning to the house when the dog went over to the bird feeder and trouble began.
"I heard three super, high-pitched screams, and I could hear two muffled barks," he said.
Maranto raced over to the bird feeder at his neighbor's residence on Harper Ridge Road and found Bentley pinned to the ground by another animal.
"I didn't know if it was a pitbull or what," he said.
With Bentley unable to escape on his own, Maranto gave the animal a kick and then put his hand on the back of its head and reached for its mouth.
When he got a good look, Maranto realized that he was in a scuffle with a fisher.
"I spread his mouth open and he didn't fight me. I think I really surprised him," Maranto said.
The fisher quickly released Bentley from its tight grip and Maranto threw his body on top of the dog to protect him. The fisher scurried away, but the encounter left Bentley with a cut in his mouth and Maranto with cuts on his hands.
"We were just really lucky. It happened so fast. Those things are vicious. He would have punctured his throat and he would have been dead," he said.
Bentley was up to date on his rabies vaccinations, but was given a booster. Maranto is now undergoing a series of rabies shots.
Animal Control Officer Sheila Johannsen said it's impossible to know whether the fisher was rabid because it got away.
Johannsen said a fisher attack is unusual.
"The only time they usually will attack is if they feel threatened or are protecting their food. This happened under a bird feeder. The fisher was either eating seed or he could have been eating mice because mice are attracted to bird feeders," she said.
Police have received no other reports of fishers getting tangled up with other pets in the area, but Johannsen urged owners to take steps to protect their animals.
"When people let their pets out they shouldn't just open the door and let them out without watching them," she said. "You should never let them loose. Even the most well-trained dog, when let out, if something has caught their eye all bets are off and they're after it."
Johannsen also warned pet owners to be aware of letting pets outside during snowstorms. She said they can become disoriented because of the storm and the loss of scent.
"Pets don't always come back home," she said.

Samsung says it's competing with, not copying AppleIn its latest legal filing, Samsung has told a California court that it is competing with Apple, not copying the company, while Apple is instead looking to "avoid such competition."
The new statements from Samsung's legal team are in response to an amended complaint filed last month by Apple. Apple has accused Samsung of copying the look and feel the iPhone and iPad with devices like the Galaxy S smartphone and Galaxy Tab touchscreen tablet.
"The Samsung Defendants admit they have not ceased competing with Apple notwithstanding Apple's efforts to avoid such competition," the company wrote in its latest filing, as highlighted by Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents.
Apple has gone as far as to refer to Samsung as "the copyist" in its legal filings. But in its latest filing, Samsung suggests to the court that what Apple feels is copying, Samsung believes is competition.
"Intellectual property and competition are two conflicting goals," Mueller offered in his analysis. "The question is how to reconcile them. If all copying is allowed, there's probably a lot of competition, but investment in innovation and the introduction of new products won't be sufficiently incentivized. Innovators need a certain 'breathing space' — but there must also be room for (fair) competition."
The new filing comes only a few days after Samsung asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban the import of Apple products. The courtroom battle between the two tech giants began in April, when Apple first sued Samsung for allegedly copying its mobile devices.
On Topic: General
- Judge rules Apple entitled to potential ongoing royalties from patent-infringing Samsung products
- Union pushes Apple for better treatment of campus security guards
- More secrets could come from GT Advanced bankruptcy as Apple divulges details to creditors
- Google's search deal with Apple expires in early 2015, could bring new default to Safari

Figure 2
Threshold model of antibody-mediated transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)
A specific threshold must be overcome to induce a TRALI reaction. To overcome a threshold, several factors act together: the activation status of the pulmonary neutrophils at the time of transfusion, the strength of the neutrophil-priming activity of transfused mediators (A), and the clinical status of the patient (B). The figure is a modified version of Bux and colleagues' threshold model, reproduced by permission of the publisher and the author.

Bad vibes
Why do consumers seemingly love to loathe some brands? And what can businesses do to turn around an evil image? Rania Habib of Communicate magazine tries to find out.
December 1, 2010 4:48 by Rania Habib
LISTEN UP. Adopting a positive approach to brand behavior, McNabb says, brands do eventually listen to consumers. "All brands are things made of humans, so when they are heavily criticized by consumers, they will typically change their behavior," he says.
"If you're selling stuff, people must be happy to buy it. If McDonald's is unhealthy, it will move to become healthier. What's exciting about social media and blogs and the like is that today, consumers have a megaphone; they can much more effectively say what they believe and think."
Regionally, those brands that court the most controversy include multinational corporations such as Starbucks and Coca-Cola, often for their reported support of Israel, a known enemy of the Arab world for its illegal occupation of parts of Palestine. (Despite repeated requests, Coca-Cola was not available for comment.)
While the brands generate impassioned and harsh reactions from consumers who boycott their products, Al-Samarrai says passionate reactions generally don't amount to much.
"I think the issue is – and I've heard this argument many times – if consumers are to boycott Starbucks, for example, successfully, are they damaging Starbucks itself, or are they damaging the local holding company that runs it in Arab countries, and therefore putting people out of jobs?" he says. "It's a moral judgment."
Presumably that's what McDonald's wants to emphasize in a "10 facts about McDonald's" leaflet it makes available in its UAE stores. The single-sheet flier mentions the food, addressing halal and nutritional concerns, but it begins with: "Fact one: McDonald's Corporation is a publicly held company owned by millions of people around the world."
Fact two is: "McDonald's Corporation is a strictly commercial company that does not interfere or support any political or religious act."
And in case an activist still isn't convinced he should put down his placard, fact four is: "McDonald's UAE is a 100 percent Emirati company and its relationship with McDonald's Corporation is merely restricted to permitting the use of the brand and offering training and development."
Similarly, van Bochove says it's important to explain to consumers that Starbucks coffee houses are mostly operated by local holding companies in the Middle East, by groups such as Al Shaya.
"We source locally as much as possible," he says. "We are investing in areas that we think are important, and we have to do more to make it clear that we are part of the community by stepping up our efforts for community involvement on issues we think are important, such as culture, education, and environment."
McNabb says brands we love to hate suffer from a nagging problem, one that consumers won't see being resolved. The problem is that corporations can no longer get away with the things they may have previously gotten away with.
"Corporations will behave badly where they believe they are not open to scrutiny," he says.

January 16, 2010 9:55:00 PM
I am on a crusade. I think it is not one that would come to your mind immediately, but something that would provide every family with a precious document. If you have ever felt the urge to write your memoirs, then, as Nike says, just do it! You would give your youngsters an account of "the way it was," something they are not born knowing. More satisfying, you will literally have the time of your life doing it.
From time to time someone will lend me a copy of his memoirs, and each time I look at the past through someone else''s eyes, I am enriched.
One such person is G.W. Land, who did it twice! First he wrote " The Life and Times of a Sharecropper''s Son" and later augmented that with "A Lifetime of Memories."
G.W. remembers some things I have only heard about, but shares some Columbus memories with me, if from a little different perspective.
For example, he recalls the great flood of 1927 and the dreadful impact it had on some local families. That surprised me; I had thought that flood was just of the Mississippi River, especially around Greenville. Although like many Columbians of my time, I remember many Tombigbee and Luxapalila floods, I never experienced them in the way the 1927 flood destroyed for some people their livestock, crops, harvests, possessions and even homes. G.W. remembers being ferried to a hill, then to a big house for refuge.
He recalls also some of the scrapes he got into as a youth, things that surely must be a revelation to his children and grandchildren, but also to whoever knows him now as a dignified, well-groomed gentleman.
G.W. has recently celebrated his 90th birthday. To me the most impressive feature of his backward glances is the prevailing feeling of gratitude that saturates his every memory. In fact, I''ll just bet that''s one thing that got him to a significant age. As for his family, I don''t see how any one of them would not cherish the loving way he describes his wife, Earline, his son, daughters, grandchildren and parents. What a terrific gift to them.
Then, to top it off, he has an appendix of poems he has written, some sentimental, some humorous, some commemorating occasions. I don''t know why I am always somewhat surprised when someone reveals a penchant for poetry or rhyme. There has to be a reason it appeals to so many of us.
Just begin
Back to my crusade, I believe every family, every generation, deserves someone to record those times. If you''re the one, get to it! Don''t hesitate because you are "not a writer." Just write as you talk. You are, after all, not trying for a Pulitzer.
One winter, when Doug and I were stuck at home for long, tedious, sick weeks, when television, magazines, even books did not satisfy, I went out and bought a spiral notebook. I took it home and started writing while Doug watched ball games. About 300 pages later, I had gotten up to the point where Doug and I got married. (I admit it would be a labor of love for anyone to read that much of my trivial life. I guess I have always needed an editor.)
Whether or not anyone else ever read it -- they said they did and enjoyed it -- it was one of the most satisfying things I have ever done for myself.
All of us live lives of joy and disappointment, grief and love, success and tragedy. I found looking back did reaffirm that sense of gratitude for all that makes each life unique. It made me think a little bit like what William Faulkner said when he accepted the Nobel Prize -- that mankind will not only survive, but prevail.

Examples of behaviors that could constitute hostile environment sexual harassment include but are not limited to
- unnecessary and unwanted touching, patting, hugging, or brushing against a person's clothing or body;

FIRE's Mounting Lawsuit Attacks Bringing Free Speech Back to College Campuses
September 24, 2014
By Nat Hentoff at CATO Institute In what may become the most compelling free-speech campaign in our educational history, FIRE (Foundation For Individual Rights in Education) has embarked on a lawsuit campaign to restore and guarantee the existence of free speech on our college campuses. Speaking before the National Press Club in Washington on July 1, Greg Lukianoff, President of FIRE, first focused on speech codes that ban from college campuses such offensive speech as "inconsiderate jokes" and "inappropriately directed laughter" and — believe it or not — passing around copies of the Constitution. Yes, our Constitution! These speech codes also […]» Read More
This Academic Year, Colleges Should Eliminate Speech Codes — or Prepare for Their Day in Court
September 2, 2014
By Azhar Majeed at The Huffington Post One would think that American colleges and universities do not need many added incentives to uphold the free speech rights of their students and professors. After all, protecting freedom of speech on campus meets universities' legal obligations under the First Amendment (in the case of public institutions) and honors institutional promises of free speech made in official handbooks and materials (in the case of private schools). Doing so allows students and faculty members to exchange diverse viewpoints with one another and to learn from their fellow classmates or colleagues. And it ultimately benefits […]» Read More
Colleges: Drop Your Speech Codes
August 8, 2014
By David Moshman at The Huffington Post This summer, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) initiated four new First Amendment lawsuits against college censors. Additional lawsuits will follow, it announced, until unconstitutional speech codes, which are common across the nation, have been eliminated. How should college officials respond? Here's some free advice: Join the quest for intellectual freedom in higher education. Eliminating a speech code costs nothing, will make you look good, may avoid a lawsuit and, best of all, is the right thing to do. I will elaborate on these four reasons below. But first, let's look more closely at college […]» Read More
University of Hawaii Reverses Course on 'Free-Speech' Zone
May 30, 2014
By Bob Kellogg at OneNewsNow Facing a lawsuit, a university in Hawaii has done an about-face and is doing away with its unconstitutional, restrictive speech zone. In addition to confining students to a tiny "free-speech" zone, University of Hawaii at Hilo officials prevented a student from handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution, prompting the lawsuit. Reading from a university statement, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education spokesman Robert Shibley says the university will now "permit students to approach others on campus," and allow them to distribute literature in areas used by students and others. "So that's a really big step forward for […]» Read More
Free-Speech Battle Hits the Big Island
May 13, 2014
By Bob Kellogg at OneNewsNow Two University of Hawaii-Hilo students filed a lawsuit in late April alleging that Campus Student Center director Ellen Kusano prevented them from leaving their tables to hand out copies of the Constitution during an outside event in January where student groups had set up tables to distribute literature. Robert Shibley of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) says other students are now complaining Kusano interfered with student elections. "This latest complaint has to do with student elections and how the UH-Hilo authorities are preventing students from freely passing out election-related materials," says the FIRE spokesman. "These are all very core […]» Read More

April 29, 2014
At NewsFix HILO, HI – Is this a new low for a so-called institution of higher learning? Two members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at University of Hawaii-Hilo are suing the school, claiming they had to say 'aloha' to their first amendment rights. According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, the students were prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution at a recruitment event in January.

In a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone claim their First Amendment right to free speech was infringed upon during a January event where school officials stopped them as they passed out copies of the Constitution, according to Fox News.

'Free Speech Zones' on Campus: Hawaii to Harvard Fear Tomorrow's Free Thinkers
April 26, 2014
By Jacquie Kubin at Communities Digital News WASHINGTON, April 26, 2014 — What does the school where you are sending your student and your money stand for? According to Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post, colleges are dens of liberal ideology: "By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at American universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative, says the study being published this week. The imbalance is almost as striking in partisan terms, with 50 percent of the faculty members surveyed identifying themselves as Democrats and 11 percent as Republicans." A 2011 New York Times article by John Tierney suggests that those percentages […]» Read More

April 25, 2014
At PanAm Post After she was denied her right to distribute copies of the US Constitution on her college campus, University of Hawaii student Merritt Burch (joined by fellow student Anthony Vizzone) exercised another right on April 24: the right to sue university in federal court, with the assistance of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). Burch is president of her Young Americans for Liberty chapter, a pro-liberty organization for US college campuses.

University of Hawaii (Hilo): Our Students are Easily Intimidated, Need to be Protected from People Handing out Literature
April 25, 2014
By Eugene Volokh at The Washington Post From the University of Hawaii (Hilo) Registered Independent Student Organization Handbook: When using a public venue, RISOs may not approach people to solicit them. Although we support a diverse intellectual and social atmosphere on campus, we also believe that each person should be able to freely choose whether to listen to your solicitation or not. And the university seems to be enforcing this, apparently ordering students to stop distributing copies of the Constitution. ("Solicit" here thus doesn't mean just solicitation of funds, but also covers offering literature; see paragraphs 21-23 of the Complaint in the just-filed Burch […]» Read More
College Administrators to Students: Stop Giving Away Free Copies of the Constitution
April 25, 2014
By Daniel Doherty at Townhall.com Remember when America's colleges and universities used to be places of free inquiry, open dialogue, and intellectual development? I'm seriously beginning to wonder: are those days long gone? Apparently, even the First Amendment right to hand out free copies of the U.S. Constitution on college campuses is under assault. Thankfully, however, not every college student is backing down without a fuss (viaFIRE): A student ordered by administrators to stop handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution at the University of Hawaii at Hilo has filed a lawsuittoday in federal court.

University Students Sue for Right to Distribute Copies of the Constitution on Campus
April 25, 2014
By Richard Berkow at BizPac Review That pesky First Amendment keeps getting in the way of people who want to trample it. At the University of Hawaii, Hilo, two students were prevented from distributing copies of the Constitution – that wretched document guaranteeing freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and stuff like that – and now they're suing the university, reason.com reports. Merritt Burch, president of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH, and Anthony Vizzone, another member, were stopped by school officials on a campus information day, because, instead of staying behind their outdoor table, they joined others in walking around to distribute copies of America's most […]» Read More

By Reuters at The New York Times HONOLULU — Two students are suing a Hawaii university after they say they were told in January they could not pass out copies of the Constitution to fellow students, in a lawsuit accusing the school of violating their First Amendment rights to free speech. In a complaint against the University of Hawaii at Hilo, the students' lawyers said the school "unconstitutionally restricts access to open areas on campus by requiring students to seek permission to speak at least seven business days in advance." The complaint, filed on Thursday, added that the areas where […]» Read More

Hawaiian Students Challenge 'Censorship Swamp' in First Amendment Lawsuit
April 24, 2014
By Greg Lukianoff at The Huffington Post Back in January, two students at the University of Hawaii at Hilo were told by a campus official that they couldn't approach their fellow students to give them copies of the Constitution. Just a week later, one of the same students was told that if she wanted to engage in political protest, she should go to UH Hilo's tiny "free speech zone," which covers just 0.26 percent of campus. Worse still, the free speech zone is far away from where most students congregate (I've seen it in person) and occupies a muddy, sloping plain […]» Read More

By Robby Soave at The Daily Caller Two students are suing the University of Hawaii for violating their First Amendment rights after administrator prevented them from distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution — demonstrating a frightening lack of knowledge about the very legal document they were attempting to censor. Students Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone, members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH-Hilo, were prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution at a recruitment event in January.

FIRE, ADF File 'Amici' Brief in Eighth Circuit for Student Expelled for Facebook Posts
November 20, 2014
Yesterday, FIRE and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed an amici curiae ("friends of the court") brief (PDF) with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, arguing that a federal district court incorrectly dismissed former Central Lakes College (CLC) student Craig Keefe's First Amendment lawsuit against the school. Keefe was a nursing student at the public Minnesota college when he landed in trouble for comments he posted on Facebook expressing negative feelings towards his classmates. While his posts included profanity, all of them fell far outside the narrowly defined categories of speech unprotected by the First Amendment, such as […]» Read More
University of Hawaii at Manoa Students Want to Follow UH Hilo's Lead on Free Speech

Last spring, the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH Hilo) did the right thing, albeit under pressure from a First Amendment lawsuit (part of FIRE's Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project) by two students who had been prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution on campus: The university administration implemented an interim speech policy without a restrictive "free speech zone." Now, members of other schools within the UH system are taking note.

Constitution Day 2014: What a Difference a Year Makes
September 18, 2014
September 17, 2013—last year's Constitution Day—turned out to be a dark moment in the history of free speech on America's campuses. That was the day Robert Van Tuinen was stopped from handing out Constitutions on the campus of Modesto Junior College (MJC) in California. He had neglected to sign up to use the school's tiny "free speech area," the only place that a student was allowed to hand out literature. On the same day, an administrator at Citrus College (also in California) told student Vinny Sinapi-Riddle that he could be removed from campus for seeking another student's signature on a […]» Read More
Students Return to Campus Censorship, But Fight Back with FIRE
September 2, 2014
PHILADELPHIA, September 2, 2014—As millions of college students arrive on campus this fall—many for the first time—few of them realize that nearly 59 percent of our nation's colleges maintain policies that clearly and substantially restrict speech protected by the First Amendment. Too many students will realize that the rights they took for granted as Americans have been denied to them only after they face charges and disciplinary action for speaking their minds. But this year, campus censorship faces a new deterrent: FIRE's Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project, which aims to finally bring an end to unconstitutional and illiberal speech […]» Read More

The Denver Post is reporting that Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas will be opening a new location in Littleton, Colorado in late 2012. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - Aspen Grove will be a seven-screen complex in the Aspen Grove shopping center near Santa Fe Drive (US 85) and Mineral Avenue.
"We're very excited to expand the Alamo Drafthouse to moviegoers in Colorado," said Tim League, founder and chief executive. "We've found an area for a natural extension of our concept, which began in Austin, to a like-minded audience of serious movie and beer lovers."
Click the Read link below to view the full article.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas operates nine locations in Texas and one in Virginia. They are known for offering the combination of not only dinner and a movie, but a cold beer as well. They made news earlier this year when a customer was kicked out of one of their locations for using a cell phone, and the message she left on their voice mail system became part of their on-screen public service announcement about their zero-tolerance ban on cell phone use during the movie.
