Editor: The following is a press release and video from Created Equal.
Columbus, OH – Nov 15, 2019 – Last week, we told you about Georgia State University (GSU; Atlanta, GA) emailing their entire student body before Created Equal arrived on campus, saying our message would be “hateful,” and “mean-spirited.” But that was just the beginning. On the day of our event, GSU officials took action to frustrate and protest our free speech. Watch the shocking video and follow the link below to sign the petition to tell GSU this is not the proper use of tax dollars!

.
During our outreach, members of the GSU administration passed out signs reading “No Hate At State.” Faculty from the Psychological and Health Services stood in front of our signs, refusing to move when asked not to block view of our signs.
Law enforcement were also stationed in positions obstructing the view of our signs. Boyd Beckwith, Senior Director of Student Government Association, refused to reposition the officers. The solution he offered was for us to move our signs farther away from students.
Afterward, another GSU staff member requesting anonymity sent us this:
I came across your page after seeing someone else share about what happened at GSU.
I work at GSU and I am truly scared for my job if I speak up on campus. Free speech for faculty and staff does not exist at public universities if you are pro-life or don’t agree with the liberal and leftist narrative.
I cannot afford to lose my job and so choose to stay silent. . . . I cannot afford to go public as I have kids of my own to support.
The bias of GSU is blatant and must be challenged. We need your help!
Tell Georgia State to stop frustrating Free Speech!
1. Sign our petition to instantly email GSU President Dr. Mark Becker.
2. Call Dr. Becker (404-413-1300). Respectfully insist he apologize to Created Equal, affirm GSU’s commitment to Free Speech, and assign remedial First Amendment training to relevant staff.
For truth,
Mark Harrington, President, Created Equal
