Guys, I'm forming the Student Rights Committee as a way for students of all ages, schools, campuses, races, creed, religion, etc., to come together and discuss ways we can stand up when administrators, police, etc. violate our rights.

It will be an operation (I'm hoping) and a branch-off of the Republican Liberty Caucus' new Student Coordinator position (I'm currently seeking to become the first RLC Student Coordinator)...you don't have to be a Republican per se, but it would help if students were committed to Constitutional protections, safeguarding them, etc.

Just contact me if you're interested in joining, or if you're wanting to establish a Student Rights Committee chapter on your campus; I have a couple of attorney friends who are great at answering legal advice and such; they're strict on the Constitution too, so that helps.

Duties of the SRC:

1) Letter campaigns; if you or friends have their rights violated, write letters to the editor of local papers; get it out in the media!

2) Organize rallies/protests/meetings to discuss the situations, gather input, etc.

3) STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

4) Consult with our legal team (ask me and I'll relay the info) about what you can do to stop the violations.

5) Market the SRC; tell your friends about the SRC, talk to students at school, IM people, etc., etc. I'm going to try to actually get a separate website going for this thing to help everyone out.

The SPLC is actually going to come in handy pretty soon; I wish I knew about that organization when I was a high school newspaper reporter.

ACLU is sometimes nitpicky on what it decides to defend, but, thanks for the links, I'm going to send them the info about the school drug raid I'm covering.

I officially became the Student Coordinator of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas, so that means the Student Rights Committee is a go!

Come one, come all! It's time to show these rights violators that there's strength in young people's numbers
