You make an important distinction about state v. private action, Pootie 2.
However, you're wrong when you say that "the only true "right" is at the federal level, AKA the oft-quoted freedom of speech 1st amendment: This particular freedom has ZERO bearing on this topic. The right can only be invoked if the federal government steps in and squishes publicized opinion."
You may want to take a closer look at the 14th Amendment's application of fundamental parts of the Bill of Rights to the states.
