You mad that Twitter, a private company, gets to pick its own standards, but happy for the government to muzzle teachers and professors.
Do you believe in free speech?

1. We have the free speech right. The next statement is false.
2. We do not have the free speech right. The previous statement is true.

FIRE exists to protect those free speech rights of faculty, staff, and students. If they had no rights FIRE wouldn't need to protect them.
FL HB 7 (22R), or the Individual Freedom Act, earlier this year. The law, directly inspired by DeSantis, expands Florida’s anti-discrimination laws to prohibit schools and companies from leveling guilt or blame to students and employees based on race or sex, takes aim at lessons over issues like “white privilege” by creating new protections for students and workers, including that a person should not be instructed to “feel guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” due to their race, color, sex or national origin.
attorneys for the state contended that the legislation prohibits teachers and professors from endorsing concepts spelled out in the anti-woke law, not “descriptive, historical discussion of racism in the past.”
“If, for example, a professor instructs students that in some period in history, individuals’ status as either privileged or oppressed was necessarily determined by race, that instruction does not violate the Act,” attorneys for the state wrote. “The professor has merely described historical factual circumstances, not personally endorsed the view that an individual’s status today is necessarily determined by race.”

And no debate. You as a typical democrat are too fucking stupid to do that. And love proving it.
They know that they cant support their views, because they live in fantasy, so they refuse to try......their mission is to destroy all who dont agree with them...there must be solidarity!
Glad you decided to come back, why did you change your name? ROTFLMAO!
Good on you!

Yes. Their free speech is in effect once they are outside the schools that pay their salaries.

1. Rhonda Santis is a vile, devolved mutant and not a single "person" who voted for him deserves to share in this planet's oxygen supply.
2. Nothing worth anything in this world, including speech, is ever free.
