There are many people (and quite a bit of case law) who believe the constitution governs everyone in every situation. If it’s for the people and by the people, then it’s to protect “the people” from government (which is “the people”). This includes private entities. Particularly, private entities receiving public funds (which Stanford is).
Anyway, in this particular case, free speech laws pretty much dictate you can’t seek reprisal for what people read.
- freejazz 4y agoAre you saying that the constitution outright applies to private entities the same as it applies to the government? and that is so, because the government consists of people?
