Facebook Viewpoint Discrimination

Facebook accounts will likely be viewed as public forums regardless of any label to the contrary. An interesting concurring opinion in Davison suggested that, while the agency may not engage in “viewpoint discrimination,” the private entity (e.g., Facebook) could delete or restrict offensive posts from agency accounts on its own if they violated the private entity’s rules. Note: While the agency could report such offensive posts to Facebook, directly instructing Facebook to delete them could be construed as “official action” and should therefore be avoided.

While Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites will undoubtedly continue to offer valuable forums for the exchange of information with the public, it would appear that agencies may not be able to directly restrict or delete seemingly offensive posts or ban users who make such posts. Even though offensive posts may be difficult to accept, agencies should also recognize that posts from identifiable users may also provide valuable evidence in an ongoing investigation.

Nobody Can Get A Good Education With No Republican Professors

An education is supposed to open your mind to many points of view. But 39 percent of liberal arts colleges have no registered Republican professors. Zero.

...Specifically, we have allowed a very limited viewpoint to become essentially the only thing taught. Since this has been the progressive viewpoint, it is entirely unsurprising that as time continues, more and more people will be open to these changes.

What does that mean? Some of us are very careful about what our children are allowed to be taught. My wife and I like a balance of all sides. Teaching one ideology with the idea there can be no other never works. Yet it is becoming harder and harder to follow the traditional route of education for our children and avoid their pure indoctrination.

Twitter Banned Me For 'Hate Speech' When I Opposed Trans Troops

Stating, in a civil manner, why I disagree with transgender troops is in no way a threat or harassment. But it seems that Twitter doesn't agree.
