Or do you think that the Constitution requires the universities to be standardless and admit and pass anyone? They shouldn't have to learn anything they don't like or already believe to be true, should they? Where would you draw the line? I would start by recognizing that private associations are entitled to
greater deference in the creation and maintenance of their relationships, and
that government entities are entitled to significantly less deference, and very
little discretion, certainly none that is "unbridled" or that is
"standardless."
Once I have that distinction drawn firmly in mind, I would invited anyone
who is addicted to the exercise of standardless, unbridled discretion to take
their thirsts to the private setting of colleges and universities not created by
and funded by the State. There they may slake their thirsts for just as
long as the wallets of those who crave such petty tyrannies can sustain
them. In the state institutions that remain behind, I would insist upon
strict adherence to the constitutional principles to which earlier I had
adverted.
