Northern Illinois University bans “Intentional and wrongful use of words, gestures and actions to annoy, alarm, abuse, embarrass, coerce, intimidate or threaten another person.” NIU’s students, if this absurd and unconstitutional code were widely known across campus, would most likely respond with their own annoying or alarming gestures. But most students don’t find out about a college’s speech code until they’re brought up on charges for violating it.I wonder if that applies to banging Thunder Stix at football games.
