"It’s an unconstitutional petty tyranny. That's the long and short of it.
Maybe it’s a small thing. But it bothers me that Radford students are being cowed into subservience when they should be learning to stand up straight for democratic virtues -- independence of thought and speech, love of freedom, and concern for the common good. It also bothers me that the university has forgotten its true identity and is putting up with this crouching abuse. It's like the scene from Lord of the Rings with King Theoden of Rohan.
I just wish someone would document a visit of one of these city speech 'inspectors' who order students
to take down their fraternity or sorority signs. We could post it on YouTube for the benefit of the
Chinese and Russians who say this idea of a free speech is nice, but nobody in America really believes in it."
