In kindergarten, you get sent to the principal's office for sticking out your tongue at another kid, how do you handle supposed adults on a college campus who do much worse things? Attack the behavior aspect of it? I would think that threatening the teacher with physical harm could be dealt with through existing law, but what about just being rude? Disrupting class? And it's not just schools, it's everywhere. Do we send all young adults to finishing school so that they can learn how to behave? Is it parents not parenting? A speech code isn't the answer but I'm not sure what is. Although I totally agree that any kind of speech code is unconstitutional, bad, rude behavior is becoming a greater problem.
