What started out as a patriotic gesture intended to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, ended up becoming a major verbal scuffle that one North Arizona University student calls “a free speech violation.”
The incident, which has likely evolved into something much larger than either side originally anticipated, occurred when students were passing out American flags on their public university campus last Friday. The Arizona Daily Sun shares more about the commemorative activity:
The NAU students were among students at more than 270 colleges and high schools participating in the “9/11: Never Forget Project,” which is endorsed by the conservative Young America’s Foundation. The University of Arizona also held an event, according to the YAF’s website.
