    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.

            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.
