The interesting thing is that Furman University officials tried to stop students from protesting. The students had prepared pamphlets that had Jesse Jackson quotes. I am glad the officials backed off once the students reminded them that it was their 1st Amendment rights. I imagine that those same officials wouldn't have stopped protests of conservative speakers. However, Furman has always gotten conservative speakers to come down through the years. I know they have had Chuck Norris and Ann Coulter in the recent past. Furman has a very active College Republicans chapter.
I like Furman; it was close to my alma mater in Greenville, SC.
