Mob rule on campus [Darleen Click]
From students and professors actively hostile to the First Amendment After desperately trying to gin up media coverage of student protests at the University of Missouri, one of the school’s media professors is now furiously trying to “muscle” the press off campus to prevent them from covering student protests that rapidly spiraled out of control Monday.

Like other districts faced with this dilemma, the district tried to find a negotiated solution by putting up privacy curtains in the
