University of Colorado Censors Liberty Group

The University of Colorado offers many things to the citizens of Colorado and controversy seems to still be high on the agenda. CU’s newest liberty group, the Young Americans For Liberty paid $60 to send a bulk email to the students advertising their first event featuring the author Thomas Woods. Unfortunately, CU felt the need to remove any reference to Washington D.C. and the Federal Reserve.

Lance Vaillancourt writes in the Daily Camera, “The students submitted text that read, ‘In an exclusive lecture for CU students and the community, best-selling author Thomas E. Woods will explain how the current economic collapse was predicted and ignored, why Washington and the Federal Reserve are to blame, why the bailouts will ultimately make things worse and how we can put our economy on a path to recovery.’

When CU officials sent out the e-mail Thursday, the references to Washington, the Federal Reserve and the bailouts were gone.

CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard acknowledged Tuesday that the university’s guidelines clearly state that the school is allowed to edit any messages going into the Buff Bulletin, both for length and content.”

Fortunately, CU officials resent the original email after complaints were made. Does the CU madness ever end?
