ezs note:  Mr. and Ms. Franz - could I make a suggestion?  Rather than suing Oxford schools, hit the place where it would really hurt - the American division of Swiss Arms.  And don't make it a measly $100 million - make it a $100 billion.  Just a thought.

ezs note:  A few thoughts here -  my own feelings are that Mr. Ingle's opinions are silly at best, repugnant at worst.  But, like it or not, they are his opinions, and they deserve a hearing.  I only hope that at a more conservative university, such as Liberty University, the same freedoms are offered.
