The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes WEDNESDAY: THURSDAY: Explained Before You Were Here FRIDAY: The Extremist The civil right not to be civil A U.S. District Court judge in Cali- fornia ruled earlier this month that it was unconstitutional for Califor- nia State University to punish stu- dents based on a clause in its code of conduct requiring that students be "civil" to one another. The rule had been used in one instance to justify discipline for members of the College Republicans who stamped on flags displaying Allah's name during a pro- test against extremist Islamic terror- ist groups. The CalState system has argued that the decisions against students were also based on allegations of hate speech or intimidation, which are not defended by the First Amendment. A similar code at the University of Michigan was struck down in a 1989 case.
