Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : But the First Amendment can't protect people from interpersonal consequences for unpopular speech; calling someone a racist may or may not be fair, but it's also free speech.
55% : I taught courses in constitutional law and the First Amendment on a university campus for over 30 years and was continually on guard to make sure that my sometimes unorthodox liberal views did not get me into trouble with other faculty members.
53% : For example, when the school's Federalist Society chapter got itself into hot water for admittedly overzealous protesting of some of the activities of gay rights and African American student groups, there was a faculty effort to censure it, even though everything that was said was protected by the First Amendment.
