Do you believe that Muslim college students should be allowed to hold signs that say, “Death to America,” “Death to Israel” or “Hang the Infidels from a Tree?”

Or, would you stand with the ACLU and claim that it is protected Free Speech?

I believe the First Amendment protects objectionable speech, subject to the limitations of things like false and defamatory speech, and speech which is an clear and present incitement to criminal acts. In the latter context, "Death to Israel" is protected speech, but "Allah demands that you go out and kill Jews" is not.
