Free speech and the fate of J. David McSwane, editor in chief of The Rocky Mountain Collegian.

Please take a moment to read about J. David McSwane the Colorado College Editor Faces Hearing Next Week Over Editorial. In case you want to read more here is another article.

Now that you have read what is going on in Colorado, what is your reaction? After I read this I was filled with anger towards the group of college republicans and others who are way too sensitive.

"The question of free speech quickly became political, with a campus group, the College republicans circulating a petition calling for Mr. McSwane’s resignation"

WTF?!?!?! If the issue of using the "F" word is means a college group of republicans is going to petition for your resignation then beware to everyone, republicans are on the loose. Come on people first of all, there are more important things going on in the world other than the F word being published. People are dying, starving and being abused and murdered oh lets not forget the never ending war we are in. Please don't forget about the world that is falling victim to global warming and the extinction of animals.

In my opinion J. David McSwane was well within his rights to publish and say what he wants. I would do anything in my power to see that he doesn't get fired.

I will say this I don't feel that it is every necessary to use curse words in any situation. However, it's our right to free speech to say them any time we please.
