Well, I might interpret that differently. In many ways the same thing applies to me in the workplace - that is there are restrictions on my exercise of free speech that are conditions of my employment. I could still exercise free speech, but my employer could fire me. I suspect I could do the same in a public schoool - though I might be charged with tresspass, if I actually entered the school grounds.
