Caught this news item on Agape press this morning. What in the WORLD is going on if this is the way "open inquiry" is treated?
Keep an eye on this one folks - I suspect that the University will back down, but I could be wrong.
"(AgapePress) - Three University of Maryland students claim they were harassed and intimidated by university police during a recent visit to the school by the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney. Yet somehow, it is the students who are facing charges for their actions at the campus event.
That event was a question-and-answer session on policy issues featuring Lynne Cheney, a former homosexual rights activist whose daughter is openly homosexual. The incident happened after graduate student Ryan Grim asked the Vice President's wife a volatile question: "Dr. Cheney, would you attend your daughter Mary's wedding if she married a person of the same gender?"
That was when, according to Grim, the university police descended on him and two other students and threatened them with arrest. The police have since charged the three students with disorderly conduct and disrupting a student event, and Grim and the others could face penalties ranging from a letter of reprimand to expulsion."
