ITT: Shills for the DNC that forgot what first amendment rights mean
Wouldn't they just be expressing their... nm
They need to outlaw illumination
Yes, I'm done with all those near-identical motion flicks
The first amendment means I get to camp in your front yard if I'm upset enough at something!
If i pay you tens of thousands to use that property every semester then it is my god damn right to camp on the yard i am paying for.
Real "I pay your salary because I pay taxes" energy. Blocking access to an abortion clinic is also not a first amendment right, even if you pay the taxes that build the roads.
How is sitting on a lawn in the campus, and that is how the protests started, occupying buildings came only after the brutal police crackdown, in any way comparable to that?
Also the students are quite literally paying to be able to go to the campus and use the campus facilities, often even living in dorms on the campus grounds. Imagine you are a tenant and your landlord just arbitrarily forbids you from using the hallway connecting to your flat because he doesnt like you in particular using it.
Oh and of course to stay in your example, the unis and police were happy to have actual abortion enemy proud boys come to the campus and actually attack students and actually do all the things they wrongly accused the peaceful protestors off.
