Regulating hate speech is hardly suppressing constitutionally protected free speech.

I am astounded at how blind you are on this subject, John. Every First Amendment Lawyer will tell you that you just CAN'T do it. The cases being taken up are won every time by the students if they have the Lawyers. Which they now do. The ACLU stands branded forever by their refusal to take these cases.

Do I have a representative sample? I have been posting case after case of lawsuits brought by students about free speech on campus. I think that almost every one started with a minority/gender group complaining. I just googled "campus hate speech" and got, "119,000 English pages for campus hate speech."
