Parsing the paragraph shows 4 things:

* support for the student's 1A right to voice an opinion
* support for a position that the university has a responsibility to protect that right and the students
* support to their claim that such an opinion has a historical foundation (atchd pic e.g.)
* support for an argument that such issues can still arise when somebody challenges a nation's patriotic symbol by citing the context of many current responses to the student's opinion
