Yellow Ribbon Update

Posted by Eric at 6:34 pm. Filed under: General

Kevin McCullough updates on the University of Oregon yellow ribbon controversy.

[A university insider] also noted the inconsistency that the University disallowed the “Support The Troops” ribbons on state vehicles, but allowed Kerry campaign stickers on state bulleting boards, desks, windows, shelves, etc…

Looks like they stirred up a hornests nest in blog world.

REPORTER: “The University has received over 300 e-mails and phonecalls about the ribbon removal. Most of the calls originating from the East Coast, Florida, and Texas. And almost all of the callers found out about the story from conservative talkshows and on-line blogs.”

And Kevin thinks

And rest assured - if they are copping to 300 e-mail - they got 3000. I know for a fact that after a certain point they shut down the e-mail servers to prevent the e-mail from getting through late on Monday afternoon.

Dawn Eden said it well:

The school claims such expression on a state-owned university’s property is “a violation of a statewide policy.”

What I’d like to know is, since when did supporting the members of the U.S. military become a violation of the policy of a U.S. state?
