> Last time I checked, the Constitution covered the government, not college campuses.
Many college campuses are arms of govt. The welfare department isn't allowed to tell you what you can and can't say to get aid, same for colleges and education.
> Also, campaign finance reform is not about suppressing ideas;
I was going to write "Never confuse intent with effect." but then I remembered that both the intent and effect of campaign finance laws is that I can't make political speech without obeying certain restrictions.
Note that those restrictions don't apply to some other entities, so it's discriminatory as well. Feel free to explain why my political speech should be disadvantaged.
> Not sure what you mean by "hate speech" laws. Other than slander/libel and inciting "imminent lawless action", you can say or write pretty much anything you want.

Not even close.
It's my understanding that http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/03-04/bill/sen/sb_1201-1250/sb_12... passed.
There are others in other states and an effort to get comparable federal legislation.
