Hello Raging Chicken Press readers and members, and welcome to our second podcast, interview thingy!
Yesterday I had the opportunity to pre-record an interview with Rizzo Mertz, one of Millersville University’s alumni members planning actions around Governor Corbett’s commencement speaker ship. One of the main sticking points of this interview revolves around the fact that the administration is turning this controversy into a “free speech issue,” while administrators want to approve “free speech” actions that graduating students are planning. Hmmmmm, looks like there is some hypocrisy here?
We also talked about the cronyism among the Millersville Board of Trustees and the fight back actions. So sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy the 30 minute interview with Rizzo Mertz.

I would have to say I am proud of those students who will be expressing their displeasure at the choice of speaker at one of the most important event in their lives. They should realize, and it appears they do, that to change the world for the better, you need to stand up to authority, challenge it, and use the rights we were given under the Constitution, to keep those same rights.
