tearing down posters is not a nice thing to do but doesn't violate the first amendment, unless i suppose they were paid to do so by the federal government, which is possible given the rising population of lizard people in the united states, particular in government leadership.

damn their scaly hides!

Because it is on campus grounds it's not legally a first amendment issue. It is still a suppression of freedom of speech no matter which way you swing it.

"It's only censorship is the government does it" is IRYD level logic.

If someone puts a pamphlet next to the advertisement with arguments or alternative positions/opinions for people to read that would be one thing and not a suppression of speech/ideas. 'Disagreeing' as you said.

This is instead someone not wanting the poster there physically removing it. That's suppression of ideas.

I think its really more under the realm of vandalism than it is censorship... its a little extreme to call that censorship.

but a little extreme never stopped kaga b4

if a staff member did it by order, sure I can agree with you there.

if some random idiot college kid did it? no, no way.
