A Colorado College student is speaking out, claiming the school is challenging free speech on campus.

In late February, Chris Robinson and a group of friends posted flyers around campus, mocking other flyers by a Feminist and Gender Studies group (see link below).

Both flyers have suggestive material, but according to CC officials, one went too far.

Robinson's flyers were torn down by campus security, because they had references to weapons.

About a week later, the students met with school officials during a three hour hearing.

Last week, the students were found guilty of making a threat of violence against the school. However, they face no punishment.

In a statement to FOX21 News, Colorado College President Richard Celeste said, "Colorado College values and fosters freedom of expression, and in discussions with students regarding 'The Monthly Bag,' has encouraged further dialogue about freedom of speech issues on campus.

"The students involved in creating this publication were found to have violated the college community's standards, but they were not sanctioned or punished.

"Instead, they were urged to engage the college community in more inclusive dialogue, debate and discussion on freedom of speech, and through a letter to the editor of the student newspaper and other actions, they are doing so."

Robinson disputes that statement and believes he was punished. He said the three hour hearing process was discipline enough.

Robinson described the whole controversy as a "fig leaf behind which they're hiding their ideological suppression."

Colorado College officials said their main concern with the flyer is references to sniper rifles and chain saws.

They said the flyer was posted within two weeks of the shooting at Northern Illinois University. They said they were sensitive and will continue to be sensitive to any references to violence on campus.

However, Robinson said the flyer was taken out of context. He said, "It would be impossible to come to the conclusion that anyone was going to threaten the college."
