Following up on a portion of my first post on this thread:
Would anyone…especially attorneys and legal scholars discuss whether the suspended cadets can fight their punishments on free speech grounds considering the Citadel is a state funded public institution?
People on previous threads have argued that even private colleges shouldn’t be suspending students for making suspected or admitted racist or uncivil/insensitive online postings on “free speech” grounds even though the First Amendment doesn’t legally apply to them.
Wonder how the arguments could apply/not apply here…especially considering the Citadel is a public institution funded and run by the state of South Carolina.
