Free Speech at Universities

Which political ideologies are most impacted? Is there a First Amendment obligation toward speech on campuses? Is hate speech protected speech? What kind of speech is not protected under the Constitution? Did you know that the ACLU defended the right of a neo-Nazi group to march in the 1970’s? It was a free speech issue.
