While I don't approve of this type of social engineering I do believe that the school is acting within their sphere of control.
Does the school own the property? If so, the owner/operator of the school controls what activities can be participated in on that property.
If students don't want to be forced, (coerced), into this type of control then they should vote with their feet.

So, it is not private property.

You can make a guest worker program and have strict enformcement to make the current illegals unemployable and self deport.I didn't ask if it was "private property", I asked if the school "owned" the property.
If the state "owns" the property then the state should have the largest say on what is allowed on the property.
If the state is represented by the people creating this ban then, so be it.
We can't have it both ways. We want a private property owner to have the say what happens on their property but if the government, state/county/municiple, owns the property we don't want them to have the say?
I don't like that the state restricts liberties, especially with a legal product, BUT...
