Sovereignty lies in the hands of the people.
Now I've seen a lot of ridiculous things, but this is just crossing the line. Speakers Corner originated in the UK, a country that at the time had no Human Rights. But the right to speech was nonetheless guaranteed in the small corner of Hyde Park where public discussion was encouraged. At INTI though, its all about control, the Speakers Corner is limited to just an hour on Wednesdays from 1 - 2 where half the student population is in class. Each Speaker is limited to just 7 minutes!! WTF? Politics is banned. Religion is banned. Sex is banned. Fine but seriously you cannot limit a Speakers Corner, you cannot limit a Speaker. This is not high school. This is not Pre- school where you have your reading time. This is a University College and if we ever hope to reach university status then our students MUST be given the opportunity to grow. And Sovereignty must lie in the hands of the people
