Holy shit, this is universally up voted? Are the people here really this uninformed when it comes to free speech? Not one person has challenged you on this BS?
Free speech is something that protects you from the government. This is clearly some private event that has the right to allow or disallow whatever they want on their property. This is like if I was invited into your house, I called your wife a cunt, you asked me to leave, and then I said the ridiculously stupid “you’re violating my freedom of speech!”
Is the Lemmy hive mind even more dumb than reddits?
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC, UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or simply Carolina) is a public research university in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The First Amendment to the Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Restrictions on speech by public colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution.
Fair point, I thought it was a private university when I clicked through. Although I do believe they retain the right to limit disruptive speech at these types of events.

First sentence on the Wiki and on the ACLU page. Go back to Reddit if you’re going to be ignorant and insult people.
