[Gregory-H21586]

People are not prosecuted by the government for speaking their minds, hence the necessity of cities allowing groups like the KKK to hold marches and rallies. Administrative decisions of organizations (schools, companies, etc.) to prohibit such speech are no more violations of free speech than are dress codes. And just to be clear, free speech is constitutionally curtailed by the government when the exercise of that freedom is substantially certain to immediately bring about turmoil. You mentioned reading an anthology or articles that are used to teach students; I remember my secondary school education, and I cannot count the number of handouts, books and class topics that were appallingly racist – not only to 17th century African Americans, but to 18th, 19th and 20th century African Amercans as well. Not to mention the fact that blacks are almost completely excluded from the ‘American’ history taught to students, and relegated instead to ‘black’ history courses, although they played crucial roles in the history of this country. Even when they are mentioned in mainstream history courses, it is often in a less than flattering light.
