AutoAdmit Untouchable?

There is an extraordinary site called AutoAdmit that has up every sort of abuse you can imagine. It refers for instance to "Kike sluts" (an abusive term for Jewish women).

It is a discussion board for law students, much used, apparently, by students at some Ivy League schools. According to the WSJ, the postings on it cannot be touched because of First Amendment protection, even though comments on it have apparently damaged the reputations of some female students.

How come Christian, conservative or anti-immigration speech is constantly censored by universities but real abuse cannot be? Very strange. Apparently anything nihilistic and destructive is fine but anything Christian or conservative has to be hounded out of existence.
