Des Mones SD= Government School. If it were a private school, she wouldn't have had a case.

But in Tinker v. Des Moines SD the issue was all about 1st Amendment Rights
and did not involve government censorship or prosecution...made clear in the
case...nevertheless the ruling was her first amendment rights “did not stop at
the school house door.”

not facing censorship from the government and he's also not facing prosecution
for what he said in private. Apparently on the same tape, Sterling said 'I
love black people', but the conversation needs to be taking in totality and full
context and not reduced, as usual, to only a few sound bytes that resonate with
Tom Hansen rendering a verdict & decree.

that the NAACP was planning to give Sterling a 2nd lifetime achievement award on
May 15th. Sterling received his first NAACP award 5 years ago.

>Frankly, I think he’s a “dirty old man” with a great looking young woman friend, and his prejudices and bigotry extend far beyond what he has just said. Even so, it would seem to me he has a First Amendment right to say what he thinks. Not knowing what the bylaws of the NBA say to this issue, I do wonder how they can ban him from games when he owns the team, and I imagine the courts will be asked to resolve that issue. If the KKK has a First Amendment right to march down the streets of American cities (and I don’t argue they do) then maybe Magic Johnson should just have to “suck it up.” I believe the First Amendment is precious...and yes, there are consequences for speech that harms, but we have to be very wary of consequences for something that is purely speech and not overt behavior, which is discrimination and often illegal.

>>Perhaps the NBA could look into the Cliven Bundy case and remove him from his ranch just as Sterling has been removed from the Arena. Well maybe their bylaws don’t extend that far. Damn.

>>>Donald Sterling has now been banned for life from games and practices by the NBA and fined $2.5 million dollars. Why? Because he was recorded saying bad things about black people in a PRIVATE conversation he was having with his girlfriend. One that was very likely recorded illegally. Does this strike anyone here as being over-the-top? Or am I the only one not on the "OMG! He said bad things about black people!" bandwagon?
