Trump signs executive order to promote free speech on college campuses

[Legion]

I heard Trump spew that shit a while back, thanks anyway

#rentfree

Better suppress those protests and shut the students up so that we can have real freedom! Real freedom is a bunch of minorities strapped to chairs forced to listen to a white supremacist wail over and over about white genocide, then greet him happily and give him congratulations for his views, because disagreeing with a rightist is a violation of their free speech.

Is this lunatic rant supposed to mean something?

What a sad commentary that universities now have to be threatened with loss of funding to ensure that they do not suppress or censor free speech from conservatives.Unbelievable.

Higher learning, the depository of unfettered ideas, the free flow of opposing arguments, formal debate...the left can not tolerate this.

[christiefan915]

The left thinks calling someone the wrong pronoun is hate speech. I find that infinitely more stupid than Trump bitching about SNL's obvious bias. If you like TV stations with bias, good for you. Most people do not appreciate it.

You must be joking. SNL parodied every president since Ford, and they all took it without having hissy fits.

C,mon, when you were going to school, you were not forced to listen to David Duke. He was allowed to speak. You do not have to go. Why is it a big deal? I am not sure speakers made money back in the 60s and 70s.
Now if that cannot draw an audience, they will not come back.
The cost of security is a big deal to universities.
Colter gets 20 to 50 K for a speech, but security more than doubles the cost. And her flamethrowing speeches do not bring honor to the school.

But you have no problem with people like Louis Farrakhan speaking at Universities and Colleges. No problem with funding that hate. And you wonder why no one takes Democrats seriously anymore.

Did anyone tell Trump that we already have free speech on college campuses?

I am guessing not many college campuses got that memo.

Have any people been arrested on a college campus for something they said?

Was it considered a hate crime by some?

Was what?
You didn't answer my question. If college campuses didn't have free speech, which people were arrested for saying something while on a college campus?

[Celticguy]

so in other words they have to let racist hate speech on campus?

cool.....then there should be no backlash when the racist fucks get their ass whopped for starting riots and there should be no backlash when the people freely call the racist pigs what they are racist pigs.

And when they cross the line between free speech and criminal behavior its off to prison.
Time to grow some thicker skin snowflake.

I ask you again. Was it considered a hate crime by some? That free speech?

Of course. No matter what you say, there is sure to be some lunatic out there that thinks it's a hate crime. But we still have free speech, even if some people wish we didn't.
So, which people have been arrested for speech on a college campus?
