Obamanation's attacks on the Constitution coninue to expand......

When sworn in (both times) the POTUS swore 'to preserve, protect and defend and support the Constitution of the United States'...

However, he seems to be doing just the opposite - and continues to demean the Constitution and the Founding Fathers for placing restrictions on gob'mint!   

We have seen him attack the 2nd Amendment, the 4th and 5th Amendments, and especially the 10th Amendment...   now he and his cabal of destructionists    are in the process of decimating the Freedom of Speech guaranteed by the 1st Amendment. 

In 2011, his Education Department mandated that colleges and universities lower the standard of proof to 'more than likely' (as in 50.01% sure). Many college and life careers have been ruined by mere accusations; no hearings, no due process, no presumption of innocence. Just, unsubstantiated accusations of sexual harassment would suffice. Goodbye Amendment VI.

Now the Department of Education AND Dept of Justice (our oxymorons of the week) have just instructed the colleges and universities that the 1st Amendment is no longer in play on campus. 

For two decades, universities have struggled with the question of “speech codes,” tempted by the Left to enshrine political correctness at the expense of the First Amendment. Most campuses have resisted, but through the Obama administration, the censors have triumphed all at once and everywhere.

In a letter from the Department of Education and the Department of Justice addressed to the University of Montana but explicitly intended as a “blueprint for colleges and universities throughout the country,” the government has altered the legal meaning of the term “sexual harassment.” The new rule directly contravenes Supreme Court decisions and previous rulings from OCR that harassment “must include something beyond the mere expression of views, words, symbols, or thoughts that some person finds offensive.” The Supreme Court has ruled that to meet the test of sexual harassment, behavior must be “severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive.” Note the word “objectively,” meaning that a reasonable person similarly situated would be offended.

The reasonable-person standard is now gone. The new definition of sexual harassment decreed by the Obama administration is “any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature” including “verbal conduct.” The purported victim now has the power to decide whether a young man or woman (but it’s nearly always a man) is branded a sexual harasser. It’s entirely subjective.

Obama promised fundamental transformation. This is part of it. Freedom of speech is sacrificed, and a new army of sexual-harassment “specialists” will descend on America’s campuses to enforce the new dispensation.

So, if your college age son (or high school? or Pre-K?) walks up to a class mate and asks her to go to dinner and a movie --- and she thinks he's a jerk -- guess what? It's sexual harassment!!  If a gal voices an opinion that a certain guy is a 'hunk' or a guy opines that a certain gal is a 'knock-out' .....  those are no longer compliments if the receiver of the attention complains ... it is sexual harassment.   

That old axiom, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." has been highjacked to, "Sexual harassment is in the mind of the recipient" or something. 

And on it goes.  Click here for the rest of  Mona Charen's column in NRO. But I warn you, it's just one of many out there warning us all.....
