Shouldn't Law Students know the Constitution....by law school atleast?

I am disgusted and appalled that the The Latino Law Student Association at the University Of Connecticut School Of Law in Hartford has raised such a big uproar on what would have been an upcoming visit by the distinguished Mayor of Danbury Mark Boughton. The symposium which will deal with Illegal Immigration, an issue Boughton has been a staunch critic of. By not allowing Mayor Boughton on campus to express his views, the group is doing exactly what so many immigrants flee their home countries for, suppressing the right of freedom of speech. It is to my knowledge Mayor Boughton is not completely against immigrants, but solely against illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a problem not just in the southwest portion of the country but also very much here in New England and in Connecticut. The Latino Law Student Association also apparently did not research who they invited to speak in there symposium, there is no possible way that they would have no idea where Mayor Boughton beliefs fall on the issue of illegal immigration or he would have never been invited in the first place. The banning of the Mayor was a half hearted attempt by an organization to achieve publicity and relevance.


The statement released Monday afternoon, calling the Mayor an "anti-immigrant crusader" who "should not be given a platform to espouse his views." Further proves that the Latino Law Student Association is not interested in having a debate based around facts, instead they are more interested in having a biased debate that supports their agenda. Had the organization been actually willing to debate Mayor Boughton they would have had the opportunity to prove his message wrong instead, they decided to accuse him of hate speech and racism.

Unfortunately only two things have been proven by the Latino Law Student Association and that is they have no interest in having a debate fair debate on immigration, and have no interest inlistening to the views of others besides their own. Secondly, that Connecticut is in dire need of education reform, otherwise law students would know that the US Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of speech.
