This isn't specific to hate speech, why is it included in the opening of this entry?Everett3 (talk) 20:41, 1 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Everett3 It is there because of the fact that this statement captures a notable exception that applies overwhelmingly within this context of things. Thus, it is an important exception within the purview of the subject matter. 2605:A601:4515:F400:71DB:FB92:39E0:1DD1 (talk) 06:51, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

A number of US colleges and universities have instituted "speech codes" to regulate speech that the adminstration does not want. Some of these have been taken to court. Some of these speech codes have be rescinded. I think this is worth including in this article. Who feels qualified to write on this topic?? Pete unseth (talk) 14:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
