UC Berkeley was once a the center for Freedom of Speech, Upholding Higher Education, Basic Constitutioal Rights, The Promotion of Freedom of Ideas and Peaceful Nonviolent Protests. Over the past decades those ideals had corroded away to the point that the past alummi who struggled in the 1960's, no longer recognize their once beloved school. The school that stood up for it's students right to have platform to share their different options and to provide protection to all individuals, regardless of their political views, personal beliefs, sexual orientation or if you agreed with them are not; UC Berkeley once allowed all individuals the right to be heard, and clearly its has lost it's way. The Riots on Wednesday Feb 2 2017, showed the nation that UC Berkeley no longer upholds the principles it once stood for; UC Berkeley has become a school of "hate speech", "safe places" and a single minded view that only panders to certain political view. If students don't agree with the schools new narrative, they are attacked verbally, physically and mentally. They are called Nazis, Racist, Xenophobic, Sexist, and White Supremacists; without the opportunity to even peacefully defend themselves before beginning physically assaulted. UC Berkeley no longer deserves the federal government funding that it's been receiving if it's not even going to uphold Basic Constitutioal Rights. The $340 million dollars it receives in funding can be redistributed to areas in California that are in desperately need those funds. Such as our States failing infrastructure or US Veteran's Services. Thanks you for your support and please sign.
