Public College Restrictions on the Exercise of Free Speech

My question involves civil rights in the State of: California
I go to a college that is government owned and operated. I'Be discovered that the college has certain rules regarding speech:
1) Do not discriminate.
2) There is a Hyde Park location designated for all other forms of speech. Only inside this location am I free to engage in any form of peaceful assembly.

How thoughtful of you to share that information with us.

Was that all you wanted to tell us, or did you have some relevant facts to share and a question that you wanted to ask?

the government does have the right to control your right to free assembly and speech in some ways. (Ya, I know, it sounds like an oxymoron) They have the right to specify locations as well as requiring permits. Absolute free speech is too easily used to incite negative activity which is but one reason the government has a right to put such restrictions on your freedoms of speech and assembly.

The US Supreme Court has frequently ruled on free speech exceptions.

You need only google the topic to learn all about them.

My apologies for not clarifying what I want to know.
My question is: Is the college violating the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution?

I fail to see how the 14th Amendment even relates to a question about speech restrictions.

Perhaps you should read the 14 Amendment and then explain how it relates to the question:


Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Maybe you are not ready for college. Have you not read any of the responses so far?

You will find numerous court decisions supporting the government property owner's right to regulate the time, place, size and nature (but not content) of your free speech activity for the purpose of protecting public health, public safety, preventing damage to public property, preventing the disruption of government operations and ensuring you do not interfere with the free speech rights of others.

Why are y'all still doing his homework?
