The First Amendment was established to recognize the right of Americans to 'indulge' in 'unpopular speech'. Anywhere. Any time. But Higher Education Institutions across America don't recognize this.
California college settles First Amendment suit with student | Fox News:
"Freedom of expression is crucial in the higher education community, and the District and its Board of Trustees have done much to protect and advance this cherished right," the statement read. "As part of the settlement, the District will be implementing new procedures that will expand its current free speech area to include most open spaces on campus ....... "[emphasis added]
A student on a California campus spoke in a "free speech zone", and was not the subject of harassment by college administers. But when he (literally) stepped over 'the line' to discuss the fine points of his opinion with another student, a college administrator threatened him.
Claiming that a political discussion could not take place outside of the free speech zone, the unidentified school employee threatened to eject Sinapi-Riddle from campus for violating the policy.
Since when is "policy" more important that the Constitution?
What are we teaching our children?

Free speech to a liberal means you agree with them.
It is more difficult to indoctrinate when you allow opposing view points.
Speech that is inflammatory, hurtful, insensitive, or disrespectful towards minorities should not be tolerated at an institution of higher learning.
