This article from today’s News Sentinel details Senator Randy McNally’s comments that the student protesters that were arrested earlier in the week should be kicked out of school at the University of Memphis. While I have great respect for Senator McNally, I have to disagree. A misdemeanor arrest for their protest is sufficient punishment in my opinion. There are enough Sargent at Arms and Troopers at the Capitol to handle protesters that exceed the limit of free speech protest. There is no reason to take away their college education and disband them as an organization. That would make Republicans like the liberal, democrat, socialist. Let’s not do that.
