Schools Must Violate First Amendment Rights


The federal government has ruled that in order to meet its demands under Title IX, the law regulating equal access to educational opportunities at colleges and universities the schools must violate the First Amendment. For the schools To comply with Title IX, DOJ states that a college or university "carries the responsibility to investigate" all speech of a sexual nature that someone finds offensive even if that speech is protected by the First Amendment or an institution’s promises of free speech. So the question here is it okay to violate someone's first amendment rights while trying to put in a new law.

  1. In response to your question I would personally say that by violating someone's amendment can set forth a dangerous precedent for the future. Although if it could help a court case it may arguably be worth it.
