The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC, UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or simply Carolina) is a public research university in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

The First Amendment to the Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Restrictions on speech by public colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution.

First sentence on the Wiki and on the ACLU page. Go back to Reddit if you're going to be ignorant and insult people.

Fair point, I thought it was a private university when I clicked through. Although I do believe they retain the right to limit disruptive speech at these types of events.

While you are free to say what you want, you don’t have the freedom from consequences of what you say, except from being critical of the government. I think that’s the point he was trying to make, but he wasn’t very articulate about it.

But there still are limited restriction, for example you can’t talk about (or even look at) any classified information you come across. And whistle blowing has become all but illegal.
