> According to Department of Education guidelines, the First Amendment applies to public institutions, including community and state colleges.
A DOE "guideline" is a *law?*
Second point: does this mean that the 1st also applies to grade school, and thus kids have the freedom of speech and cannot be censored in class to shut up when teacher is speaking? Well, that would explain the collapse in classroom discipline, I suppose...
Shut up, especially if you hold ancient beliefs about "God". We will assimilate you.
No court has ever upheld the idea that a teacher cannot regulate speech to maintain classroom order.
