There is.

If you look into it you’ll see there are pretty clear guidelines differentiating speech regulations during school hours and for a building that happens to be a school but that is used by a group after hours. You are correct that there are limits to free speech but hateful speech is not one of those limits. Saying “I’m…

I get what you’re saying... but it’s still not right. What you are advocating is that a school censors based on content of speech. If the speech is about puppies it’s allowed but if it’s about Allah it’s prohibited. That’s contrary to the 1st amendment. If you allow a non-religious group to use public space you can’t…

Yup, hate speech against Christians is totally protected speech. (Inciting violence or actual violence isn’t as tailored by Supreme Court decisions in the United States). Like if a LGBT group wanted to rent space from a school for a meeting entitled “Jesus was a Fagot and all Christians will rot in Hell” yeah, that’s…

Yeah. It’s actually really interesting stuff.

If you’re arguing that the government can discriminate based on speech you’re wrong. I’m confident because I’ve read the case law, I’ve researched the topic, and I follow when these things happen and how the Supreme Coirt responds. You can disagree but you’d be better off actually researching and seeing how you are…

I looked into it and the American Library Association agrees with me. Here’s their guidance on the subject. You might wanna change your policies. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations/meetingrooms/religion-q-a

Yup. At the end of the day, in a case like this, you have to step back and ask yourself: instead of a group having an event that promotes that gay people are going to hell, if it were a LGBTQ pride event just wanting to use the space would you still have a problem? If the answer is “no” then you are regulating content…

Yup.

Yep, and if those policies were challenged, your library would definitely lose. Here’s a good start for you to see how this works out. http://archive.adl.org/religion_ps_2004/facilities.html

Yes, but the example you are citing is the endorsement of a specific religion or viewpoint. And thats the point. Trust me, plenty of religious groups legally use school grounds for services or programs without 1st Amendment violations. It has to do with regulating content vs access.

Ug, I don’t even wanna say this because all the (incorrect) snark comments it’ll bring my way, but the school wasn’t in the wrong here. If it has a policy of allowing outside groups to use its space it can’t, as a government agency, regulate the speech of a group by saying that x group can use the space by y group…

That’s because of the 1st Amendment not in spite of it. The government can’t select which speech is allows and disallows (not going into the nuances of 1st amendment law, but broadly speaking) so a government entity (school for example) can’t choose to let a group use its space only if it agrees with the message. If…

On the grand scheme of things... this is about as important to me as if I found out that she parked in the Pregnant/Family parking at Target even though she didn’t have any kids... like, yeah, it’s not right. I’m kind of disappointing. But I don’t think it actually impacts in any way the fact that you are the best…

Is he daring to say that, for black Americans, America cannot be made “great again” but rather needs to actually be “made great” for the first time? He has to be careful here or he’ll accidentally agree with the Black Lives Matter movement (and common sense.)

The salad bar is also my favorite place for making pizza for one or two at home. Each pizza only needs a few pepperoni slices, mushrooms, etc so it is a lot more cost effective to just pick them up from a well stocked salad bar. Plus, a good salad bar will have plenty of topping options for you to go gourmet with.…

You know, a lot more people might be willing to get behind Republican platforms around fiscal conservatism if Republicans hadn’t spent the last 40 years doing their best to make sure that social conservatism was inextricably tied in with fiscal policy.

Ditto. In hindsight, college would have been a lot more fun had I been out. But what’s done is done.

And you know what the amazing thing? The math stays the same from when you do it at home vs when you are at the dealer. I knew what I wanted to be my monthly car payment (based on my previous payment and what I had been budgeting for) and I had a pretty good idea of what interest rates would be (I mean, it’s not like…

Agreed! And it’s not like Plex is saying “starting now we’re removing the option to store on your own server and making it so that the Cloud storage is the ONLY option”.... they are just providing a different service. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to lol.
