[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

To begin with, I presume his Facebook page at the time clearly identified him as a UNM medical school student. Otherwise, there is insufficient nexus to justify any policing of his speech by UNM, let alone the particular action in dispute here. That the particular post did not so identify him is irrelevant.

Second, providing guidance on how students in professional programs express themselves strikes me as reasonable in general.

Third, the initial post was unduly inflamatory and worse yet, violated Godwin's Law.

However, the 1st rewrite IMO sufficiently addressed those points  Moreover, assuming he accurately recounted what happened to him, UNM went well beyond appropriate encouragement of professional behavior and into thought control even before the 1st rewrite.  That 2nd rewrite was cringeworthy and the fact that it was necessary gives credence to his assertions of what happened during his reeducation process.

That said, it appears the lawsuit failed mainly on procedural grounds.  Hunt needed a better lawyer.
