Lemme know how many times students & faculty are mentioned in the constitution lol

Universities are public property, UC receives federal funding, and first amendment protections apply legally to both federal and state institutions.

Smells like bs to me, what’s the deal with all the unreasonable search and seizure I went through as a kid?

If any of that was a case I’d be due a seven figure class action settlement

Minors are rarely protected and are given consideration based on which environment they are in and who would be coercing them.

Ahhh, so adults have federal protection on public campuses, gotcha, I forget that these rights aren’t universal

[–] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Pretty much, yes. The US system is fairly ridiculous so a lot is left up to judges and common law - e.g. whether rights can be stripped due to being convicted or a crime or oer a judge's order. But freedom of speech and assembly in college campuses, especially by students, fits squarely in what is normally protected. Hell, outside right wing groups regularly try to hold rallies in a camlus near me. Cops never go after them, let alone judges.

Are they not people? People are referenced numerous times throughout the US constitution. Additionally, this is a state run institution, so the California constitution is also applicable. California's constitution explicitly covers rights and protections for students as well as faculty. Students have protection for speech and it prohibits disciplining students for this protected speech. Maybe think a bit longer before hitting post, it would help to prevent you coming across as a narcissistic imbecile...

I don’t know where you’re getting California’s constitution from, the article specifically calls out the first amendment, AFAIK it doesn’t even have an amendment process

[–] shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a University of California, the fact the article focuses on the US constitution doesn't void the state's constitution. Both federal and state governments have authority here. Maybe think outside the box whatever you're reading is painted in? It's without question a good practice.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a French onion soup recipe
