Ths SCPR thinks it is absolutely wild that an organization that bills itself as being: "[f]ounded in 1999 ... [and] one of the largest civil rights organizations in Ohio" calls for the resignation of a man who was doing what?
Exercising his civil rights!
His First Amendment civil rights!!
Listen carefully to what Schulman actually said (source WHLO News via YouTube):
Agree with or disagree with him (The Report happens to agree with him), Schulman was merely exercising his right of free speech that all Americans are endowed with.
Had Ohioans for Concealed Carry (OFCC) disagreed with Schulman's comments, fine. End of story. Because that is the American story.
But no, the OFCC folks apparently do not respect the First Amendment. For disagreement to them seems to mean that you cannot hold public office.
So what the OFCC needs to do is to change its self description to the following:
"[f]ounded in 1999 ... [and] one of the largest FOR SELECTIVE civil rights organizations in Ohio."
In the view of the SCPR, it is not accurate for the OFCC to bill itself as a broad-based civil rights organization.
And, oh by the way, Ohioans for Concealed Carry: "Mother may I" invoke my First Amendment right to disagree with the OFCC?
