Free Speech At Universities & High Schools

The law supporting free speech (ie The required, but not sufficient, basis for academic freedom) on public university campuses (And those private universities which accept any Federal monies) is extensive and clear. Lacking are those students who will bring civil suits against violating universities and, as individuals, violating university officials/administrators---And such attorneys who will risk bringing and trying such actions.

Perhaps, President Trump's, other, "Executive Order", to protect free speech on those campuses may forward the protection of the first provision of The Bill Of Rights.

The constitutional, free speech, rights of high school students are still murky. It appears that such schools may limit those rights if they disrupt instruction.

However, it also appears that that disruption must be a "clear and present threat" or actual event AND not some theoretical possibility imagined by some school officials or police officer or Fascist politician. 

In recent cases persecution of those wearing MAGA hats or showing like banners has been, in the same schools, contemporary with the display of other, very political or ideological slogans.

Even the ACLU (Now the "American Christian Loathing Union") once supported the free speech rights of high school students. (I doubt me if the ACLU would now defend students wearing MAGA hats.)

IN THOSE STATE WHICH REQUIRE DECLARATION OF PARTY FOR VOTING IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS THE PARTY AFFILIATION OF HIGH SCHOOL OFFICIALS/ADMINISTRATORS WHO DEMAND THE DEPARTURE OF MAGA (OR OTHER LIKE, "CONSERVATIVE", DISPLAYS SHOULD BE KNOWN---AND MAY SUPPORT CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR "VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS".

All Fascists should remember that the forceful (Attempted) taking of a MAGA hat (Or like banner) is "Robbery" a felony which (In most jurisdictions) may be resisted by all (Including deadly) force needed to prevent that crime. It is a most serious violation of American's rights that most prosecuting attorneys will not bring felony charges against such thugs who rob or attempt-to-rob citizens (Of all ages) of political materials.

The dangerous animal who "slugged" a citizen, on a California campus, should have immediately been "put down" by anyone as the university police were unable or unwilling to protect an innocent, non-aggressive, citizen from a very dangerous attack.
