#1 unis are non union so picketing would be extremely unlikely.
#2 you'd call the police if someone followed you around and screamed in your face and kept trying to give you pamphlets. obviously theres a line somewhere in between.
#3 protesting / picketing, etc are quite different than soliciting (even if they are ideas). theres a line in there somewhere, and a place and a time for both former and later. they are not without limits, and all a FSZ is sets some of that.
you disagree? why dont you go into the local police station and start screaming some cause while trying to give people pamphlets. see where you end up, heck, try it any government building. and thats 'public' property. universities are private property, and they do have the right to make decisions on how they see fit for creating the best environment for the campus.
guess what? guns are legal, its legal to be registered and to carry a concealed weapon. but you are NOT allowed to carry them on most college campuses.
> #1 unis are non union so picketing would be extremely unlikely.
I didn't assume that you were in a union, but I was trying to paint a picture that might be more relevant to you. Just because it's not directly relevant to you doesn't mean that the general idea isn't sound though.
> #2 you'd call the police if someone followed you around and screamed in your face and kept trying to give you pamphlets. obviously theres a line somewhere in between.
Someone following you around screaming at you is harassment, not protest / free-speech. We already laws against that. There's no need form a designated 'protest zone' where no one is allowed to protest / express non-status quo ideas outside of this 'zone.'
At the same time, there is no 'right to not be annoyed' either. So there is that.

You keep repeating "there is something in the middle," yet you assume the worst of me and use it as a strawman to proclaim victory over in the furtherance of 'proving' your point.

So... free speech is analogous to concealed weapons?
again, i said there was somethign in the middle and showed you the extreme that was wrong. i guess what you're not seeing is that YOU are in the extreme. I consider people preaching/soliciting harassment if it goes overboard, and thats what a FSZ would help circumvent.
and yes, exactly yes. Free speech is exactly analogous with the right to bear arms, its why its in the bill of rights. No right in the bill of rights is less important than any of the others.
