Corporations exist as creations of congress and legislated into existence.

Congress may not pass laws that seek to silence our ability to speak freely.

What you’re suggesting is that because these special entities are run by private individuals and not government employees they’re not effectively bound by the first amendment.

Schools exist as creations of legislation as well, but they are run by government employees. Speech cannot be silenced by schools.

Your assertion is that since companies, created by legislation, are run by private individuals they can silence speech all day long.

The question is, does the 1st amendment apply to government employees or anything borne out of legislation by congress?
