Success in Missouri Brings Student Protest to SoCal It's been barely more than a week since student protesters -- including the football team -- forced the resignations of the President and the Chancellor of the University of Missouri. Since then, the movement has spread to 100 campuses around the country, including USC in Los Angeles and Claremont McKenna College, where a dean of students has stepped down.

One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
