First Amendment under siege again, in Orlando

It appears that Rollins College in Orlando, where King Barry was scheduled to speak later today, told the college chapter of Young Republicans that they could not demonstrate during the visit as they would be seen as a "security threat". From the amendment "....or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
In other words we are becoming a police state where protest is not tolerated, probably because it offends the sensibilities of Dear Leader. Essentially they are accusing, without evidence, the Young Republicans of not being peaceable. I hope that someone offers to support these youngsters 'pro bono' in a First Amendment suit against the college and takes the college to the cleaners.
