And I really don't know the answers. I worked for/with the DNC or various Democratic candidates for 30 years. Elections laws? That I can answer.

I do know that state schools are state actors in most regards, and so have to put up with stuff, whether they like it or not.

I've gotten old. If people want to be assholes, let them do whatever (providing they don't hurt people) and ignore them.
