On Jan. 29, Cal Poly [California Polytechnic State University] charged Hinkle with “disruption” of a “campus event.” The students who objected to the posting of the flier claimed they were holding a Bible study dinner and meeting at the time of the incident. The university’s “finding of facts” notes that the Bible study group is not officially recognized, that the bulletin board is in a public “student lounge area,” and that no notice of any kind indicated that a meeting was underway at the time.

On March 12, Vice Provost W. David Conn found Hinkle guilty. Conn ordered Hinkle to write letters of apology to the offended students. The sentencing letter from Conn stated that the text of the apology would be subject to the approval of the Office of Judicial Affairs. The letter, Halvorssen notes, also warned that “this decision is final.” Conn informed Hinkle that if he did not accept this punishment, he would face much stiffer penalties, including expulsion.

This is indeed a disgusting incident. I went to Cal Poly, and it’s a fascist organization up and down. While I was there, they made a corporate deal with Pepsi, and they outlawed the selling of Coca Cola on campus. Several clubs had vending machines which they used to raise funds for their activities. Since the machines sold Coke, they were summarily removed without notifying the clubs.
It is not racist to say that welfare is harmful and that African Americans end up hurting themselves by thinking of themselves as victims.
