Trump signs executive order to promote free speech on college campuses

The taxpayers funded schools where such things happen are run by the government.

Not the point. Whether public or private, the schools can choose who to give a platform to.

Not giving a platform to someone is not restricting their speech.

A public place is a platform. If a college has a large open plaza students are generally free to exercise their freedom of expression. If the college restricts speech in these areas it is violating their rights.

Not the public, TAXPAYER FUNDED schools.

Not the point. Whether public or private, the schools can choose who to give a platform to.

They can decide who they want to invite to speak at a graduation ceremony or speakers program, but when colleges allow student organizations to invite speakers using student service fees the students provided, they cannot restrict those speakers based on content.

Providing a platform is not the same thing as prohibiting speakers in areas that already are a platform.

So if a college football player kneels during the anthem?!?!?
