Eugene Volokh argues in NRO against classroom speech codes at law schools:

Once offensive speech becomes seen as a rights violation, then people experience it as only more offensive — "not only did that jerk insult me, but he harassed me and discriminated against me." A demand for legalistic action becomes almost compulsory: Ignoring insults is a sign of fortitude, but ignoring injury to one's rights is often seen as a sign of weakness. The zone of "harassing [and] offensive language" grows, since whenever one word is officially condemned as offensive, more words become seen as offensive by analogy. And the result is more felt offense, not less.

But he correctly notes that there's really no such thing as "free speech" in the classroom.
