It’s cool how schools can’t punish pro-Nazi students because of the First Amendment but can mass arrest and suspend anti-war students because what First Amendment?🤔
@QasimRashid This stems from the fact that English confuses between "student" as in somebody in the mandatory government-funded school system, and "student" as in a student of an institution of higher education. Some other languages don't do this, and that would make this issue a lot clearer.
In the US, most colleges are private and the first amendment doesn't apply to them, if this wasn't the case, social media companies wouldn't be able to ban nazis.
@QasimRashid The first photo was taken at Baraboo School District, a public school. As a public institution, they are required by the First Amendment to tolerate even the most despicable behavior.
The second photo was taken at Colombia University, a private institution. They are not bound by the First Amendment and are not required to tolerate behavior they do not approve of.
Private institution means private property. Would you tolerate a protest in your living room?
So that wouldn't be possible here in Germany
This Nazi salute is forbidden and can be prosecuted
And people are constantly demonstrating against wars, that is normal
It doesn’t matter if something is a private institution or not
