Is that bad?

Disgusting. It appears that the medical student was engaged in scientific inquiry that is quite appropriate (after all we study psychiatry in medicine and think that it is subject to the scientific method)

This is a state university as such it is subject to the constrains of the constitution (federal and state). It is pretty clear that the state school
Is an agent of the government. As such his first amendment rights are violated. There should be immediate injunctive relief in addition to the slander and libel civil causes of action.

If a little is good, more is better I think.

“UVA purportedly made quite the claim: “Offensive student speech does not enjoy First Amendment protection.”

That’s precisely what it protects at a state funded university.

In the end, Kieran was told he’d have to be psychologically evaluated before returning to class.

Wrong-think is mental illness. How very Soviet.

“Offensive student speech does not enjoy First Amendment protection.”

It's settled case law that offensive speech has First Amendment protection. Of course this is dramatically different according to university officials. It's offensive student speech. So the First Amendment doesn't apply because someone is a student.

this episode is an interesting window into the process of forging the next generation of Doctors. Here you see tunnel vision, inability to think critically, or individually, and mandatory social and political consensus being basic critical elements of education.

Can’t have any of the drones thinking for themselves.

They must be punished and taught to comply with group think.

In response, UVA purportedly made quite the claim: “Offensive student speech does not enjoy First Amendment protection.

Uh, Yes , UVA, that is exactly what the 1st Amendment protects.

We need to face the fact that we are in the middle of a bloodless Marxist revolution. Now that they control all of the levers of power they will go forward with all of the brutality of Stalin. It is going to get real ugly.

UVA is not a “state school” & never has been since its founding by Thomas Jefferson.
