OU does have the right to punish them if they violated its code of conduct.



and the courts have ruled many times that a code of conduct cannot abrigate freedom of speech at public universities....even, gasp, racist speech!

Seriously. He's rehashing the same two or three blanket statements like that argument would hold up in front of the Supreme Court.

Hasn't the distinction between a public institution and just any old work place been pointed out to you already? Do you not understand the distinction or is there another reason why you keep going with this argument?

We have another player who doesnt understand the differences between employment and a public institution.

Care to cite some evidence they are the same?

Standard comeback from people that aren't smart enough to stay on topic and present a viable counterpoint.



Standard dumb arse observation from someone who needs to shut the frick up. Why would I sit here and explain to that idiot that whether or not if I know a slave has nothing to do with what the frick he was trying to portray as a double standard? You also can suck my dick.

I know when you're made to look dumb, the next best thing is to play it off and laugh. good try, good effort.

It's ok, you arent equipped to handle a simple debate, factually. No worries.

I'm confused. You're the one who first mentioned slavery, right? So you obviously consider it relevant.

You are attributing someone else's statements to me. I didn't say those things.

I think he said that white people cant get mad at being called a honky or a cracker because white people weren't treated like animals for 300 years.

Seriously guys, quit.

You're argument it's a public university is naive at best. It's like saying the chancellor's admin assistant has the autonomy o walk in each day and says "frick you, you old wrinkle balled son of a bitch" and she's untouchable simply because she's employed by said public institution.

Conduct has it's consequences. Sit back and watch. And learn.

The Constitution covers university code of conduct now?


Multiple court decisions have found it does, in relation to speech on public universities, so yes it is covered.
