Leftists Think Coercion is Free Speech

Leftist activists at UC Santa Cruz blockaded the UC university regents in a lecture hall last October and the police had to use force to clear a way through the crowd. One of the leaders of the obstructive group was habitual protest leader Alette Kendrick -- whom the police arrested for her obstructive behavior.

UCSC has now suspended her from the university for three years and there are all sorts of claims on the net that her "free speech" was violated thereby. In Leftist circles acting like a thug is free speech apparently.

Background here. A sample of the false "free speech" claims here
