Actually, this is pretty important. If this had been allowed to stand, *any* off-campus speech that didn’t toe the Democrat educator line could result in students being punished. Any student angry they got screwed by Democrat educators, protesting against their treatment? Punished. Wear a Trump shirt on vacation and post a pic to social media? Punished.
Think about that.
It’s called the first amendment and free speech vs the government. Seems pretty important.
You believe violations of someone’s first amendment rights isn’t important?
Freedom of speech, even hate speech, must be protected.
