Students demand consorship in "Free Expression Tunnel."

N.C. State sophomore Monique Bonds, blocking the tunnel and protesting, said ...
"We'll be out here until we get an answer that we can guarantee that we don't have to walk through this tunnel and worry about what's written on the wall,"

Bonds said that graffiti demeaning many different groups is common in the tunnel.

"It's free expression, but nobody is walking through, regulating it," she said. "They're just letting it happen, and it's not just racism, but gender, sexuality and religious discrimination."

You have to appreciate the words: It's free expression, but nobody is walking through, regulating it

I know at UNCW, there was no shortage of offensive, bitter, and hateful speech against the president, from Jan 2001 til Jan 2009, and I'm pretty sure none of that was punished. Then again, that was mostly the UNCW administration that was saying it...
