http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3771561/New-chancellor-University-Nebraska-Lincoln-implements-new-non-negotiable-respect-policy.htmlUniversity of Nebraska Lincoln introduces new 'non-negotiable respect' policy which bans insulting groups, individuals or ideologies
During a speech given at the new student convocation last month, Green made it clear that 'actions of hate and disrespect' would not be tolerated.
However, the policy on what constitutes 'hate' and 'disrespect' has not been made clear.
...
'Feel free to politely criticize the ideas of ISIS or the Ku Klux Klan, for example, but make sure not to show any disrespect, much less hatred, for any group, individual, or ideology.
'If you cant express yourself respectfully, shut up.,' intellectual freedom activist David Moshman wrote on the Huffington Post.

The problem with a government controlled "Dept. of Truth" is it's a double edged sword.
