The news report is in the first 2 minutes of the video. The rest is just interviews and such on the subject.
I am neither con nor lib - and I realize Trump is doing this to help cons specifically - but I have ZERO problem with this order.
Free speech is - IMO - CRITICAL to a healthy nation.
When I was in university, free speech on both sides was strongly encouraged. It DEFINITELY does NOT seem to be that way anymore. If Ann Coulter (who I am no fan of AT ALL) wants to speak on a campus - people should not be able to stop her from speaking. If you don't like what she has to say - don't listen to it. But trying to muzzle her is deeply wrong and weak.
And if a college/university is going to receive federal funds - the LEAST they can do is make sure their campuses promote free speech.
I am not sure what difference this order will make. But I see no way that it can realistically do much damage.
I think Trump got this one right (for a change).
Trump is simply pacifying his ignorant political base.
His order has nothing to do with universities allowing free speech. They already do, including UC Berkeley (since 1964).
Is Trump’s order going to assist university police? The main problem is NON-STUDENTS coming on campus and trolling their shit there.
