Neither schools nor any other public institution nor even private entities (like corporations) should have any authority over people’s private speech made outside of their roles as students or employees or whatever. Otherwise what we have is a society where we don’t really enjoy the right to free speech but instead have to restrict our speech based on the rules set by these institutions’ leaders.

private entities (work places) do not have any implicit authority but can just fire people for certain speech made i.e. racism etc...

No restrictions? So if I divulge trade secrets in private, my employer shouldn't be able to fire me and litigate the pants off me and my family?

> outside of their roles as students or employees or whatever

I think trade secrets count as inside you role at a company

The Biden Administration sided with the district...

Do people honestly think these guys are less corrupt than trump? They clearly are out to prevent individualism at any level.

Not sure I follow the logic here - how does this relate to corruption? Is there some suggestion that the school district paid kickbacks to the administration, or is it run by one of the president's family members / personal friends?
