A college cannot legally limit the free speech of a student. Oberlin College had no role in the Gibson’s protests. A very small number of students were involved with a student protest. Oberlin was not protesting the assault by a Gibson’s employee on a student. The students were protesting the assault. Oberlin should be commended for protecting the rights of students to peacefully demonstrate…by not getting involved. Gibson’s did not sue the students. The students don’t have millions of dollars. Oberlin is just a proxy - protecting free speech on campuses across the country.
