"St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina, earned its place on this list by banning student Roman Caple from participating in its spring 2011 graduation ceremonies merely for advising his fellow students on Facebook to come prepared for a contentious meeting about the school's recovery from a destructive tornado. For this civic-minded expression, which the college laughably twisted into a "negative social media exchange," St. Augustine's deemed Caple to be "attempt[ing] to create chaos" and "fuel[ing] an already tense situation." It seems there were some thin skins among the St. Augustine's administration."
