rpggal 332 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The first amendment has nothing to do with it. The school, just like a workplace, has a responsibility to keep its students safe from targeted harassment. If it wouldn't fly in the workplace, it shouldn't fly at a school, public or not.

It's a private institution, they can decide what speech they want to allow no one is sending the police to arrest this guy for speech crimes. 12 hours ago, Bloody hooker said: Hate ≠ free speech SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES ALBERT SNYDER, PETITIONER v. FRED W. PHELPS, SR., et al. Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and—as it did here—inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker. As a Nation we have chosen a different course—to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate. That choice requires that we shield Westboro from tort liability for its picketing in this case.https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/09-751.ZO.html "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

Margaux 137 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just because you believe in something that's hateful doesn't give you the right to be given a platform by people with opposing views. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
