Censorship and 9/11

Workplace

This issue was about people sending mails that contain political, religious or patriotic things to each other. A policy was made about this the day when these people got caught doing. Jonnie Hargis and Michelle Torre was the people who got caught sending mails that contain political, religious or patriotic things in it. Their reasons were they were sending emails to each other and other employees who had received the mail that Michelle sent. The library staff was opposed to the censorship because they were told not to wear their “I’m Proud to be an American Stickers” because they might offend foreign students at the school. This took play at the Young Research Library at UCLA. This policy happens the day when Hargis was suspended. The thing that actually happened in the case was you cannot send emails that contain political, religious or patriotic things in it. Jonnie was suspended for 5 days without pay. I disagree with what happen here because why would someone create a policy that forbids people to send emails that contain political, religious or patriotic things in it. I think this is very mean for someone to do so.

Miscellaneous

The issue was about a New York resident who was arrested for admiring Osama bin Laden and hanging out leaflets while standing on a street corner near the site of the former World Trade Center. A New York resident is challenged by this material because he was admiring someone who America hates and wants to kill. The New York resident opposed to the censorship. This took place in New York near the former World Trade Center. This happened on October 2001in New York. The thing that actually happened in the case was a New York resident was arrested for admiring Osama bin Laden. The New York resident was charged for disorderly conduct. I disagree with what happened here because people have freedom and rights to do what they like to do. People admired a lot of things that are offended by other people. I think that this was wrong to arrest a person who admired someone that America really hates.

    On the workplace post I totally agree with you because I believe it is rude to send political messages thru emails, I mean many people might take it the wrong way and may be offended by it. On the post of Miscellaneous I kind of agree with you because if you admire someone go for it and be admire for that person, but someone admiring Osama bin Laden?? The person that attack the twin towers?? Now who would admire him?? Honestly I think they did the right thing by arresting him because what if he was one of the terrorism people too??
