Speech Codes

College speech codes are the end of the free world.
Restricted speech in lower level schools are just as bad, but college is the 'real world' in comparison. If the Real World teaches a person to deal with speech codes and just accept them for what they are, that's grounds for real constitutional changes, government conspiracy, the loss of human rights, and the eventual fall of the Democratic Republic.
Maybe that's jumping to quick conclusions, but all it takes is the public's acceptance of the loss of rights and the ball starts to roll on the other restrictions the government will be allowed to institute. Even so called 'Fighting Words' being unprotected is a step in the wrong direction. Yeah, it's a danger to the individuals who will chosse to lash out in violence because of a few mean-spirited words, but maybe that's more of an issue with self control or the way that person was raised. There's no reason to react violently anyways, that's the path of emotionally charged, ignorant people who can't stand to accept the idea that other people have different ways of thinking (as offensive as those ways may be) and would rather violently attack another rather than listen to something distasteful.
Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names will never hurt you.
See?
Thankfully, the Supreme Court is pretty good about making sure these speech codes aren't allowed to be instated, but schools are still allowed certain policies that just don't sit right. Anti-harassment policies are well meaning, but the way they are presented restricts even the mention of sex topics and racial issues on the college campuses because it's too offensive.
Personal opinion?
Unless you're actually attacked physically for something, then just stop being so sensitive and get over it.
