— Illinois passes law protecting free speech for high school journalists – Steve Zalusky (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents a) want to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) want to stop everyone from reading them. My critics/opponents are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means. They are disciples of Saul Alinsky.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160801/news/160809994/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The law places responsibility for content in school-sponsored media in the hands of student journalists, under the guidance of student advisers and subject to limitations on material that is libelous or obscene, constitutes an unwarranted invasion of privacy, violates federal or state law or school district policies or disrupts the orderly operation of the school. School officials would have the burden of proving that a publication is subject to restriction.)

Republicans had cut GAO’s budget dramatically and the Democrats who ran GAO used that to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, or non-veteran.)
