President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses by threatening colleges with the loss of federal research funding if they do not protect those rights.

"We’re here to take historic action to defend American students and American values," Trump said, surrounded by conservative student activists at the signing ceremony. "They’ve been under siege."

"Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today," he said.

Public universities seeking funding would have to certify they comply with the First Amendment, which already applies to them. Private universities, which have more flexibility in limiting speech, would need to commit to their own institutional rules.

"Even as universities have received billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers, many have become increasingly hostile to free speech and the First Amendment," Trump said.

He brought on stage Hayden Williams, a conservative activist who was attacked while working a recruitment table on campus at the University of California-Berkeley. The video quickly went viral, with conservatives citing it as further evidence of the stifling and sometimes-violent atmosphere that conservatives face on campus.

Is it free speech or hate speech that he is protecting? I see trouble on the horizon. Now, the KKK types will try to start recruiting new members on college campuses.

Speech. Free speech. Love, hate, smart, dumb, articulate, slobbering, inspired, pedantic, etc. Free speech.

Honestly, while it is certainly HORRIBLE that so many of our college campuses that are supposedly all about exposure to diversity, open thinking, diversity of thought, and opening frontiers — this can’t and shouldn’t be solved by state action. I get that this is “incentivizing” good behaviors, but that shouldn’t be what we pay our pols to do any more than incentivizing bad...or neutral behaviors.

Do your darned job, public employee hacks. And if you don’t, here’s your pink slip.

The problem with what I suggest is that it will only work in states where normal, decent, respectful people control the levers of state power. But that is where we are - and I don’t favor central control.

As he routinely threatens retaliation against media outlets that say unfavorable things about him. And his sycophants clap like trained seals.

Downright surreal.

I believe you're right about trouble ahead. The "conservative" speakers (read: racist, misogynistic, anti-gay, etc.) who have been disallowed from speaking are those who are unconcerned with getting some message put across and only concerned with "making liberals heads explode" - as an example see the top post in this thread. They won't be recruiting, they'll be confronting. They're not speaking, they're bullying. And now it is Government-sanctioned bullying.

When our kids were young, we always told them to never start shit, but if need be, to always finish it.

Trump must’ve grown up the same way.

Free speech is only really free speech if it's LIBERAL speech. Got it.

You all suck.

This won't go over well.

The Old Grey Pony Tail mafia of effete Professors will have a coronary.

Isn't it funny how these old fossils pumping out numbers students every year used to be about being an individual- a rebel- and against government - Now are all drones, conform and adore government

But thank God for these fossilized finks of the sickest generation. They fill my coffers with cash !

Silly Goose !


'Diversity' Means : Think just like us or else. You never hear the Diversity Cabal tout Christianity, being straight, a legal citizen etc.

The collective winger take - complete support for Trump’s efforts to get more hate speech onto college campuses, and similar support for Trump’s threats again media outlets for saying negative things about him.

Trumplandia!

The hate speech is already there. Our Liberal hate has a challenger. Oh No ! Now we can't keep pumping out idiots like me !!!

• A "Reporting on the Far Right" course at NYU will be taught by a former New Yorker journalist who falsely claimed that an ICE agent and disabled veteran had a Nazi tattoo.
• The school previously hired former Teen Vogue columnist Lauren Duca to teach a "Feminist Journalist" course.

An extensive study of 8,688 tenure-track professors at 51 of the 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. published by the National Association of Scholars found that the ratio of faculty members registered as Democrats compared to those registered Republican is now a stunning 10.4 to 1. If two military colleges that are technically described as "liberal arts colleges" are removed from the calculations, the ratio is 12.7 to 1.

And when Fox says something bad about Obama you cry for days like a cuck.

Fascinating. And irrelevant to my point.

A lie, of course. Fox Noise bashes Dems and touts right wingers 24/7. They are the media arm of the GOP. Despite that, I don’t call for them to be penalized or shut down, like Herr Trump does with outlets he doesn’t like. Putting up with garbage like Fox Noise is the price we must pay for free speech.

 

[Nutty Cortez]

Actually, it destroyed your point.

We liberals can't stand to have our views compete in an arena of ideas.

You are just scared.
