Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity.
It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so. In part, I
blame your high school teachers for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma. Most of you went to the
public high schools, which are a disaster. Don’t tell me that offended you. I went to a public high school.

Of course, your high school might not be the problem. It is entirely possible that the main reason why so many of you are
confused about free speech is that piece of paper hanging on the wall right over there. Please turn your attention to that
ridiculous document that is framed and hanging by the door. In fact, take a few minutes to read it before you leave class
today. It is our campus speech code. It specifically says that there is a requirement that everyone must only engage in
discourse that is “respectful.” That assertion is as ludicrous as it is illegal. I plan to have that thing ripped down from every
classroom on campus before I retire.

It's too bad that most college professors these days are the exact opposite of that one. Battle lines are being drawn. What surprises me is that the Supreme Court has not already put the hammer down on those liberal professors. Politics has invaded everything in our nation.

Been said before: 
Not the purview of the SC, not that they have not strayed into social engineering before.  Obolacare a prime example of overstepping the Cinstitutional limits.
