Pro-life student group wins settlement over 'professor'

A so-called professor in California tried to censor pro-life students drawing with sidewalk chalk and now has been ordered to undergo First Amendment training and pay $17,000 as a result of a court settlement.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Fresno State University public health professor Dr. Gregory Thatcher recruited students from his class to assist him in erasing the Fresno State Students for Life (FSSL) sidewalk chalk. (See video below.)

Professor Thatcher allegedly harassed and intimidated the group and accused them of chalking outside the free speech zone on campus--a zone that hasn't existed since 2015.

The pro-life club's president, Bernadette Tasy, told Fox News, "What the professor did was wrong, and the only permit a student needs to speak on campus is the First Amendment."

The chalk messages simply encourage students to seek pro-life health care options.

On the video, Thacher is heard saying to Tasy, Free speech is free speech in the free speech area. It's a pretty simple concept, okay? This does not constitute a free speech area. Okay?"

What an anal sphincter, okay?

Even after Tasy told the moron her group had permission from the university, Thatcher started erasing the chalk with his shoe.

"You have permission to put it down, and I have permission to get rid of it. That is our part of free speech. College campuses are not free speech areas," the commie b***ard said. "Do you understand? Obviously you don't understand."

Obviously Thatcher is a fascist.

As part of the court settlement, Thatcher will pay $1,000 to Tasy and $1,000 to another student, Jesus Herrera, and some attorney's fees. The so-called professor is also required to undergo First Amendment training to be provided by Alliance Defending Freedom, the group that represented FSSL.

Thatcher, arrogant scum crumpet that he is, told Fox News that he won't have to pay any money from his own pocket because he has a**hole insurance. "Nyah nyah."

"I did not, in any way, admit to any wrongdoing," the fascist said. "I did agree to sit through a training seminar because I love to learn others' thoughts and opinions [and he believes he has the right to eradicate those opinions that he disagrees with]."

He makes it sound like he had a choice to attend First Amendment training or not--he had no choice. He was just trying to save face because he lost and the U.S. Constitution won.

Tasy said the case wasn't about the money. "The important thing is that Dr. Thatcher won't be able to interfere with our expressive activities again."

Tasy said she was "really shocked" that a professor would act that way--especially at a public university.

Travis Barham, ADF Legal Counsel, described Thatcher as being "in a league of his own" with such a flagrant violation of the First Amendment.

"This is a particularly extreme case because you have a professor trying to wipe away the chalk himself," Barham said. "Far too often university officials try to play the role of speech police and try to restrict what can be said and where it can be said on campus."
