In the wake of... one of the many moral panics likely started by Chris Rufo, many "Don't Say Gay" laws were passed. I don't know about you, but I had just figured these had to be unconstitutional. After all, we have freedom of speech, right? There's an Amendment about that, right? Well.......
Returning to the show to take us through this is the best namer of law review articles, Caroline Mala Corbin.

Check out her paper "The Government Speech Doctrine Ate My Class" here!
