Free Speech on Campus? I am sure liberals hate that concept!

Trump says he’ll sign executive order for free speech on college campuses
“Today I’m proud to announce that I will be very soon signing an executive order requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research grants.”
The announcement came after he brought Hayden Williams on stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Williams is a conservative activist who was punched in the face at the University of California at Berkeley last month while assisting the university’s chapter of the right-wing group Turning Point USA.

I am not sure what it is quite yet, but there must be something inherently wrong with the idea of free speech on colleges campuses. Simply because, after all, whatever the President if for; well, Democrats are against.


But I recall that college was where you went to learn about free speech, and subsequently learn "from" free speech. Today, the University systems wants to control what you are and are not allowed to hear, listen to, or talk about.

I believe that some colleges are now censoring what you wear, on top of what you say, or do in order to not offend anyone. Well, technically in order to not offend anyone that isn't white, male, conservative, or Christian. Certainly it's okay to attack a straight white male, or Christianity. But lordy lordy, better not upset a transgender or a Muslim.

This is all about indoctrination. Control the media. Control the Schools. Control what kids are taught. Don't expose them to anything outside of the bubble of what the liberal elite want them to know about.

If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad.

ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody.

Having a D next to your name doesn’t make it right"

ICE Are the Rapist. Lordie.

Do you want the government to verify that the fake news is providing balanced news coverage?

Or maybe make sure that in state colleges and universities must provide "fair and balanced" speakers?

After all the news media is am enemy of the people, so liberal elite doesn't report negative behavior by politicians, can't be allowed to let the liberal elite to limit control what the students see.

We have to make sure that the executive order is enforced.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may be in hot water with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after she paid herself $17,500 in campaign funds following the 2018 midterm elections, according to a report.

Recent FEC filings show that the freshman Democrat lawmaker may have run afoul of campaign finance rules by making payments to herself after she ended her candidacy on Election Day.

According to FEC rules, a general election candidate can take a salary from his or campaign funds until the date of the election.

Obama did the same thing. Yet, no outrage.
OPM always comes with strings attached.

Alky has forgotten the train wreck of The Lost Years.
"On his first day on the job, way back in January 2009, Obama issued a memorandum declaring that his administration was “committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government … and establish a system of transparency”. This was one of his campaign promises. Seven years later, the president has fallen well short of this vow, and many journalists see his administration as the least transparent of all.

The Freedom of Information Act (Foia), signed into law in 1966, is meant to give citizens access to information about the government agencies their taxes support. Less than two weeks ago, the Associated Press reported that the Obama administration set a new record in the percentage of Foia requests answered with either redacted files or nothing at all: 77%. That’s up 12 points."

Hey suddenly Single Roger .
Name which Administration did the following?

"This is an administration that has used the Espionage Act to punish whistleblowers at least seven times. By contrast, before Obama’s presidency, the act, in place since the first world war, was used to prosecute government officials who leaked to the media just three times.

This is an administration that has gone after journalists who report on information obtained from leakers by secretly obtainingmonths’ worth of phone records. That spent seven years trying to compel the New York Times’ James Risen to reveal his sources. That snooped through Fox News’ James Rosen’s private emails and accused the reporter of possibly being a “co-conspirator” in order to get a warrant to do so, and to then keep that warrant secret.

Do you want the government to verify that the fake news is providing balanced news coverage?

no. we can sort that out.

Or maybe make sure that in state colleges and universities must provide "fair and balanced" speakers?

again, no. just don't place undue burdens or barriers to entry for conservative speakers. equal access would be nice.

We have to make sure that the executive order is enforced.

if you assholes knew how to behave, the EO wouldn't even be necessary.

i'm not surprised that you're too stupid to see the irony in it, alky.

when a guy as low key and as harmless as charles murray can't visit middlebury college without being physically attacked, that's a fucking problem.

when a controversial asshole like milo yiannopoulos can't visit UC berzerkley without leftist antifa terrorists setting fires and smashing windows out of buildings, that's a fucking problem.

and it IS ironic, alky. you assholes want free healthcare, free college, and a mountain of free shit, but what's supposed to be free - SPEECH - you simply can't tolerate.
