Many colleges and universities have enacted "speech codes" to prevent hate speech. The intent is to prevent confrontations and violence, while maintaining a non-threatening environment conducive to learning. Critics argue that these codes are a form of censorship.

A Minnesota speech code prohibited "speech and symbols (burning of crosses, display of Nazi swastikas) that insult and degrade others on the basis of race, religion, gender, color, creed, or sexual orientation" and that "arouse anger, alarm, or resentment in others on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, gender, or sexual orientation."

1. How do you reconcile these limits on what can be said in the classroom and on campus with the freedom of speech guaranteed in the First Amendment?

2. Should there be limits on your freedom of speech? If so, what should those limits be? (i.e. what types of speech or expression should NOT be protected under the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech?)

Mention any relevant court decisions/cases and rules or guidelines the Court has established to decide free speech cases.
