Okay ladies and gents, I could be reading this wrong, but to me it seems like the school did right in this instance. I say that because from my read of the article, it appears that they took down two specific posters by the candidate but not any other posters by that candidate.
I say this because depending upon how you read the posters, to me it comes across like blacks vs. whites when using the word n*gger. If one of the other candidates had put up posters claiming that the student was "queer." It would be considered hate speech. Yet if the student uses it himself, it is considered okay and, I suppose to some, not disruptive.
So what do you think. Were they trying to harm the students free speech or were they trying to insure there was not "hostile atmosphere" created by what could be termed hate speech by some?

this brings the number of people who try to have a "creative" spin-off of the Queer Eye show to 1,888,654,902.

I think the school is right here.
Unless "The North Carolina Constitution makes it clear that students in situations like Jarred's have a right to free expression...."
