[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2890711, member: 61297"] The first amendment bars certain (most) limitations on speech by state actors. TCU nor its employees are state actors. So you don’t have a legal issue here. Even at a private institution you could get into some hot water on the academic side of campus with academic freedom issues connected to speech depending on the contents of the faculty handbook (and in union states the CBO with the faculty and even staff unions). But this situation obviously doesn’t fall into these categories either. At a public university you have to be a little more careful. You can have reasonable time place and manner restrictions on speech so long as they are content neutral. Generally speaking state actors can’t “ban the n word.” But are there any 1A buffs out there that know the case law on whether a public university athletics program could get away with banning the use of curse words and slurs during official football activities (meetings, practice, etc), as a content-neutral restrictions to prevent disruption of team activities?
