Correct me if I'm wrong, but this right to freedom of speech concept only guarantees that the
government won't censor free speech. A private organization (like a University) is completely free to shut down a speaking event on their properly based on whatever criteria they choose and it doesn't violate anyone's rights.
If I came into your home and started spouting crazy nonsense which you and your family found offensive and you asked me to leave, that is in no way a free speech or censorship issue.
