Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... TAMU has simply not proven that recognition will indeed imminently result in such dire consequences. The speculative evidence offered by the defendants’ experts [including Dr. Paul Cameron] 'for which no historical or empircal basis is disclosed,' cannot justify TAMU’s content-based refusal to recognize GSS. Gay Lib [v. University of Missouri] supra, 558 F.2d [848], at 854 [8 Cir.1977]. We think that on this record TAMU's public health argument is precisely the kind of 'undifferentiated fear or apprehension’ that the Supreme Court has repeatedly held ‘is not enough to overcome the right to freedom of expression.’ Tinker [v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist.] supra, 393 U.S. [503] at 508, 89 S.Ct. [733] at 737 [ 21 L.Ed.2d 731 (1969)]; Healy [v. James], supra, 408 U.S. [169] at 191, 92 S.Ct. [2338] at 2351 [ 33 L.Ed.2d 266 (1972) ].’’ (emphasis added.)”
