Free speech under threat again as the Taxpayer funded Islam Awareness Month at USF proceeds with speech by Islamist brought in by Muslim Students Association.
KnightNews:
UCF leaders had dispatched its police force — funded by the taxpayers — to protect the First Amendment rights of the Muslim Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who was named by a US Attorney as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attacks.But when it came time for local media to exercise its First Amendment rights to go inside to cover the imam’s speech in the state university, UCF administrators had its police force ready to enforce UCF’s initial decision to ban cameras from recording the speech, paid for with public money. Initially, UCF administrators said no cameras would be allowed because the imam didn’t want any.
... However, they forced the independent media to set up video cameras in the back of the room, while allowing a state-funded media camera owned by UCF’s public relations department to enjoy closer access.
