The great thing about America is democracy. What the student government did by censoring OSU Divest’s initiative is disrespectful to American values and all students, who should take this as a note that their opinions matter–as long as they’re the correct, PC opinions.

I would not have voted for Divestment, but that’s not the point. The point is, students should have a say of what’s on the ballot, and to remove the initiative as well as the 3 Palestinian girls running for Senate the night before the election is not only sneaky and unethical, but un-American and frankly, racist. By removing this initiative, you’ve compromised the integrity of all 51,000 students you say you represent.

Also: to those of you who say that they should have followed the rules correctly: other initiatives have also not followed the rules exactly, and they were all given a monetary fine. Their issues were not removed from the ballot.

Not mentioned in this article is that the twitter account for the USG at OSU started to block any student that mentioned the issue via tweet to them.

This whole thing is just so gross. USG should be ashamed of itself.
