    Now you're getting it except you exaggerate by way of extrapolation.

    In any case, consider the 2nd amendment whereby American citizens have the right to bear arms.

    Oops ... paradox warning:

    Some American citizens in some government-provided housing are not allowed to bear arms.

    Some housing projects make tenants waive that right as a condition of moving in, and ... tenants can be evicted for having a gun on the premises.

    Another "housing project" would be, say, a jail. Prisoners cannot enjoy 2nd amendment rights.

    Further, certain felons are denied 2nd amendment rights.

    The paradox is resolved when we introduce due process.

    In the case where, yes, Americans are afforded free speech, the "gotcha" is due process.

    The due process may be by way of showing violation of ordinances or laws or contracts.

    Schools have rules, regulations, policies, and procedures that each student agrees to. That fits the definition of contract.

    That's due process.

    For that reason, we find that certain behaviours that put a school in a bad light are punishable by varying degrees of severity as set out in those contracts.

    What's pertinent is that rights often conflict.

    While those college kids have the right to express themselves freely, meaning they will not be charged, arrested, handcuffed, jailed, or issued a summons to appear in court, the college itself also has rights which include enforcing school policy.

    The Constitution is not the document with standing in this matter.

    The college is in possession of the documents that provide compliance guidelines and proper college authorities have spoken.

    So it is written, so let it be done.

    Study up on cell phone architect and topology and you will discover the answer to part of your question.

    So you're saying that these students can, to this very day and hour, continue chanting this crap and not go to jail and that, therefore, their freedom of expression is intact.

    Nah.

    Contracts trump free speech.

    For reference, see Paula Deen.

    She had a contract with the Food Network that said, in paraphrase, "You fuck with our revenue stream, you're fired."

    Students and Greeks have an obligation to the university in a similar manner.
