If you think Fresno State, a public university bound by #1A, should fire Randa Jarrar for her one dumb tweet about Barbara Bush, you really need to read this statement by @TheFIREorg about why that's unconstitutional and absurd.

people can be fired for offensive things they say. that doesn't mean they don't have freedom of speech.

If you're tenured at a public university and you get fired for saying something protected under #1A, then you don't have freedom of speech. Public universities are arms of the state bound by the US Constitution.
