College Student Suing for Reprimand over Handing Out Valentines that Say Jesus Loves You

Jesus Loves You Valentines

Polly Olsen is suing Northeast Wisconsin Technical College for violating her first amendment rights a second year in a row. Last Valentine’s Day,

Polly Olsen, a student at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, was reprimanded by staff after passing out religiously themed valentines on campus.

Handing out the heart-shaped cards, which included phrases like “Jesus Loves You” and “You are loved and cared for! 1 Peter 5:7,” Olsen was stopped by a security officer for “suspicious activity.”

In the Democrat’s promised Orwellian future ‘citizens’ rat you out to Big Brother. Someone was handed a valentine. Read it. Was triggered by it. Reported it. And Campus Security went to work.

None of that Jesus business around here.

Explaining how this was her second time being reprimanded for passing out such cards, Olsen said, “I gave them an opportunity to apologize or change the policy…you didn’t listen to me the first time, and you laughed in my face and told me it would never stand up in court.”

“So this time, we’re going to court,” Olsen said.

Regular readers of these pages know that Colleges and Universities rarely fare well in these cases. Your imagined right to never suffer offense does not supersede the Constitutional right to free speech and yes, religious expression.
