“government regulation[] concerning private individuals' speech on government-owned property”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[1] A traditional public forum is property, such as a public street or a park, that by long tradition or by government fiat has been devoted to public assembly and debate. Government restrictions on speech in a traditional public forum are subject to strict scrutiny and must be necessary to serve a compelling state interest and narrowly drawn to achieve that interest. [2] A designated public forum is created by purposeful governmental action — that is, when the government intentionally opens a nontraditional forum for public discourse. Restrictions on speech in a designated public forum are also subject to strict scrutiny. [3] Other governmental properties are nonpublic forums. The government may impose restrictions on speech in a nonpublic forum as long as these restrictions are reasonable and viewpoint-neutral.”
