Boca Raton, FL - On Wednesday March 3, 2010, at 5:20 PM Florida Atlantic University (FAU) campus officials shut down and called campus police on four FAU students and an alumnus to stop an informational meeting about starting a conservative organization on campus.

James Schackleford, an FAU student, saw a need for a conservative club on campus and decided to start a Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter. Shackelford hosted an informational meeting with FAU alum and Florida YAF State Director Daniel P. Diaz to discuss future YAF activities on campus as well as around the state. While Diaz was speaking at the informational meeting, David Blank, a university administrator, asked the group to leave the room. Diaz asked Blank for fifteen minutes to finish speaking and Blank politely agreed to allow the group to finish its meeting. Upon hearing Diaz address the liberal bias on the FAU campus, Blank stopped the meeting again and boorishly ordered the students to vacate the meeting room. Blank the shut off the room lights, tore down the group’s promotional posters, and called the campus police.
Ben Buck, an FAU student at the meeting said, “We were sitting in a peaceful meeting, just discussing a new organization, when we were approached by an administrator asking us to leave based on the content of our discussion regardless of previous verbal permission to talk on public property.â€

Goodness! Arrest them all as it seems like they were thinking for themselves, which is probably against some university rule.
The entire education system standards, where you encourage students to think has apparently been flushed down the loo in favor of group think. Orwell's Big Brother is alive and doing magnificently.

So does the school's flag (s) include a yellow star, or hammer and sickle?

They need to be boycotted!
