Are college professors legally allowed to tell students in class who to vote for as president?
I have a college instructor who, during class time, very clearly told the class that they needed to vote for one particular presidential candidate or they were all idiots. Is this legal? I don’t think so but I can’t find any sources to back me up. It made me furious to hear her do that. College students are notoriously impressionable by their professors, and it isn’t right that this professor should get 75 free votes. Please let me know if this is legal or not, and link to a legitimate source. Thank you. A: Technically, yes, because we all have the right to freedom of speech in America. So your professor legally can spout her political opinions about a presidential candidate. Legally, she can recommend and even urge you to vote for a certain candidate. However, she does NOT have the legal right to require that you vote for this candidate, nor does she have the right to information about which candidate you actually do vote for. Also, she DOESN’T have the right to take up class time wit
