Gee, I thought it was Ashcroft and the wicked Bush adminstration that tried to quell speech:

Some students and professors are protesting the choice of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as the University of Georgia law school graduation speaker Saturday.

The protesters say Thomas' opinions on affirmative action and civil liberties are so extreme he does not deserve the honor of speaking

A petition signed by 50 students and 11 faculty members complained that Thomas, who was born in Pinpoint near Savannah, was hastily selected as the speaker and that he offends many people.
