Freedom of speech for students in Michigan

"Especially disturbing is that the resolution would give the executive board power of censorship in determining which items are a “topic of interest” for the assembly and which are not. But on quite a few occasions, whole groups of minority students, including black and Arab students, have approached the assembly only to be told that their concerns are not relevant to students — meaning not relevant to white students. The real message in each of those cases was that the minority students themselves were irrelevant. No such abuse of power should be permitted from any member of any democratic body. Minority students, in particular, have been the targets of these abuses."
