My professor shut down a debate on campus free speech policies in my political science class

I brought up a Supreme Court case from 2017 about a public university's speech zone during a discussion, and the professor cut me off, saying the topic was 'too divisive' for a 200-level course. The next week, the syllabus had a new rule banning 'unplanned discussions of constitutional law.' Has anyone else had a class topic declared off limits like that?

What Supreme Court case were you trying to bring up?

Honestly just google the key words you remember from the case. Tbh the name doesn't even matter that much if you can find the right details. Ngl I've been there trying to remember a case and the year or the main issue is way easier to track down. Once you find one fact you can usually piece it together from there. It's way faster than stressing over the exact title.
