The constitution applies to laws made by governments. A policy or rule is not legislation.
Now IF Dr. Bob accepts federal funding for this site, perhaps his policies are required to be in line with the US Constitution. (shrugs) But simply because he is presumbably an American citizen does not make every decision he makes subject to the US constitution.
I am an American citizen. Am I not allowed to enforce a "no-cursing (snort!)in my house" rule because of the 1st amendment to the US constitution? Only if I get my city to pass legislation saying such. And then only if someone challenges that legislation as unconstitutional.
