Fresno State professor’s censorship is unconstitutional

As I read in The Fresno Bee, a Fresno State professor deliberately tried to silence anti-abortion students by erasing anti-abortion chalk messages scribed on the sidewalk. Pro-life students had been given permission from the college administration.

This is a attempt by a college professor to censor free speech. During the colonies’ heydays, college students were required to profess the Christian faith. Harvard even required that students learned Latin.

The state colonies modeled their constitutions with a solid Christian foundation in developing their state laws. The colonies also acknowledged that all authority came from God and not of man.

Now, liberal colleges have applied reverse principals. Their motto: Man is the final and rightful authority. It is beyond comprehension how blind-sighted mankind has become. The framers who designed the Constitution would turn over in their graves and regurgitate purple if they could see how our Constitution is being dismantled piece by piece. A terrible shame.
