CU WRONG TO TRY AND STOP 4/20 EVENT

Set aside the letter of the law, what's the ethical basis for closing the CU campus on 4/20? There's a raging debate over marijuana, and whether you agree or disagree, 4/20 is the day of collective voice for those who favor legal reform.

The idea that a major public university, at the behest of a non-elected administrator, would close its campus to the public to stop that voice -- is obscene.

When I was a child, our fourth-grade social studies class entertained the question: "What would things be like if Hitler had won?" News flash: A public university with a closed campus on 4/20 says it all.

Kudos to everyone who showed up anyway.
