Trump orders colleges to back free speech or lose funding

[martybegan]

We will not stand idly by to allow public institutions to violate their students’ constitutional rights,” Trump said. “If a college or university doesn’t allow you to speak, we will not give them money. It’s very simple.”



So when the KKK wants to march on campus, Trump will protect their First Amendment rights

They would have to be invited by a student group first.

Trump orders colleges to back free speech or lose funding

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday requiring U.S. colleges to protect free speech on their campuses or risk losing federal research funding.

The new order directs federal agencies to ensure that any college or university receiving research grants agrees to promote free speech and the exchange of ideas, and to follow federal rules guiding free expression.

“Even as universities have received billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers, many have become increasingly hostile to free speech and to the First Amendment,” Trump said at a White House signing ceremony. “These universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans.”

but good. if they're not going to allow both sides equal time, then no $ for you.

Did he tell CHRISTIAN COLLEGES that they will lose THEIR federal funding if they don't protect free speech?

Under Trumps mandate, will Christian Schools be required to accept Pro Choice speakers?

Do you have an example of a far left loon being denied speech at a Christian college?

‘Liberty’ University? When It Comes to Free Speech, It’s Anything But.

In 2016, Falwell himself censored an anti-Trump column in Liberty’s student newspaper, preventing publication of criticism of the Access Hollywood tape where Trump made grotesque comments about grabbing women. This censorship came only a week after Falwell released a statement celebrating Liberty’s commitment to free expression.

 

[BULLDOG]

Best damn thing he has ever done since being president. the million dollar question is though will be a hypocrite and reverse himself when colleges protest against Israel whom he worships and puts the interests of first instead of America?

?? can you cite efforts to stifle anti-Israel speech in American universities?

A Texas teacher sued the state after losing her job for refusing to sign a pro-Israel contract

Guess Trump gets to decide what speech he will protect

He didn’t protect free speech in the NFL

Disrespecting the US flag and National Anthem isn't free speech, its an insult to those who died in-service to the country.
It has nothing to do with BLM.
Neither is antifa rioting "free speech"
Nor is hitting conservatives with pies "free speech"
Nor is indoctrinating college kids into liberalism using grades as leverage "free speech"
Why do you have a problem presenting both liberalism and conservatism fairly, since tax dollars are involved?

when you salute the flag,you are saluting the CIA and our corrupt government who is out to kiss us all.

I tip my hat off the NFL players who kneel.i ALWAYS leave to go to the restroom when they play the national anthem,i am not about to salute our corrupt government and CIA that starts wars around the world.LAND OF THE FREE? Uh this is no free country,its th eland of the OPPRESSED.

My policy for the America-hating players is,

If you take a knee, break a knee

then we will all have something to cheer about

In 2009, Liberty “derecognized” the school’s chapter of College Democrats because the national Democratic Party is pro-choice, and dares to “promote the LGBT agenda.”

Supreme Court says it is

I agree that every American can kneel or sit during the National Anthem as "free speech".
But it is disrespectful and has nothing to do with BLM.
Fans can show their displeasure by not buying tickets or booing, look at what happened to the unemployed Kaepernick, kneeling isn't a good idea is it? The owners can black list players that hurt the team's finances.

Much like the Democratic party, many. many colleges have been infested with America/Constitution-hating Socialists, Communists,, Anarchists, and radical liberals who do not attempt to 'educate' - which would require looking at all sides - but to Indoctrinate, punishing students for refusing to abandon and refusing to accept any and all ideology other than their own. These 'criminally partisan institutions' have become enemies of the state, using tax dollars to do so and run as such.

The fact that 'Free Speech Zones' were needed on college campuses in the United States where the US Constitution already guarantees the Right of Freedom of Speech means these 'enemies of the state' were / are in violation of the Constitution by stripping / denying students of their Constitutional Right to Free Speech....except in these Liberal-defined, limited, designated areas. They were / are acting as little 3rd-World pockets / nations within the United States where the US Constitution and Rule Of law are not recognized and / or do not apply. (This is the same thig they are doing with Sanctuary Cities.)

t's about time the US Govt / DOJ stepped in to end these Constitution / Law-violating acts / rules / 'dictatorship'...being funded by US tax dollars.

the professors are radicals.

You mean instead of leftist college presidents?

I prefer trump over them

i prefer "we the people" decide and leave it at that. but when there are colleges who actively silence dissenting opinions, they need to know that's a party foul. if you're going to give one side campus resources for their ideas, it goes to all.

EO's are the realm of the lazy. If something is worth doing, fight to actually get it made into something enforceable.

with how crappy our congress / senate is these days, EO's are about all that are left to put any policy into place.

it sucks. i hated it when obama did it and not a fan of trump doing it. we're bypassing the very systems that are supposed to keep us in check - ALL SIDES - and making excuses for why it's ok.

sooner or later the dog knock over the house of cards and you wind up with a new TV vs. a canoe or sewing machine.
