At UC Irvine, Campus Rules and the First Amendment

Hosted by

UC Irvine wants to ban a Muslim student group for orchestrating a plan to shout down the Israeli ambassador during a speech on the campus. Would a ban violate the students’ rights to free speech and association? What if they lied to university officials about their role in advance planning? Also, Proposition 8, and a remembrance of Ernest Fleischmann. On our rebroadcast of today’s To the Point, President Obama is publicly upbeat, but his strategy in Afghanistan is not working as planned.  Has President Karzai lost faith in the US and NATO?  Is Pakistan even closer to the Afghan Taliban than previously reported?
