<p>As I expected the Tufts case is far from over. It should be a good test.</p>

<p>You know you’ve crossed the line when the National Review won’t even consider this a “free speech” issue. It begs the question, however, as to whether there is a suitable punishment for hate speech over and above removing the offending message?</p>
<p>None of these colleges are violating rights if they are voluntary communities, which is why they can require chapel services. Ever been? Some of them are very much like academic lectures. It’s like you’re saying that a school violates the rights of a theology major (voluntary) by asking (requiring) them to attend different worship services.</p>
<p>I mean, if you don’t want to be part of a community where you’re required to attend chapel services or – gasp – write papers, then don’t join. You’re paying money to go to school, and that’s what these people pay money for. It’s not hidden, but advertised, and it’s impossible to violate someone’s rights if they have that level of choice.</p>
