I agree that time, place, and manner restrictions are fine and protestors


should use them.

But that is not going to make these groups stop (if that is your goal). They will just get approval through a request which the University has to approve unless it wants to violate free speech rights.

Look at the Unite the Right rally and other KKK events. Making them apply for a permit does not stop their events.

So if you want the adults to get off the sidelines and stop college kids from being dumb in their political views, I don't see how you do it without infringing on their rights.

As a lot of people on this board said about the Unite the Right rally, just ignore it. The anti-TJ crowd is small and meaningless. By making a big deal about it, you are just encouraging the protestors. You are making them win.
