President Trump on Saturday announced he plans to sign an executive order soon requiring colleges and universities that accept federal research money to support free speech rights.

Mr. Trump made the announcement at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after he called up onstage Hayden Williams, a conservative activist who was allegedly assaulted while on a recent recruiting trip to the University of California, Berkeley.

The choice America has now is clear.

Peace and freedom with Trump
Or
Slavery and Marxism with the Dummyrats.

Pray our Republic chooses wisely

OMG!! Let the LISPING of the “LEARNED” ONES commence. What’s that sound ? A million birkenstocks being packed for a march on Washington
Please dear God, let a huge number of protesters be photographed holding their signs upside down. That’s always good for a laugh

Excellent! Some will be unwilling to do so. Stop the waste of money.

I’m sure there will be a number of fifth column RINOs from the senate running to fake news Sunday morning to vent about this.

Thank God! And it should be the same on twitter and facebook which is overrun with commie loons. You can see it on twitter everyday, they allow Jew hating Jihadists like Omar and others to post the most disgusting comments about Jews, etc and they are NOT banned..but dare to say ANYTHING negative about Islam and they are banned forever

Marxist covens and cabals take note.

Of course... if you choose to not accept funds from the constitutional republic then protest by demanding that giving tax dollars to your hallowed bastions of Marxist thought is in itself unconstitutional. Break away! Be free of these subsidized chains of bondange rebuke your 501(c3) status and fly like the wind to to the limitless boundaries of your communist dreams...

And oh by the way, it seems there are claims the Berzerkley assailant was Antifa, dating from April 2018.

I almost fell off the couch when I heard that. Finally someone is going to tackle this extreme prejudice against conservatives. I love it!

This shouldn't be necessary.

That it is is something to be concerned about.

We are way past the point of being simply “concerned”.

“This shouldn’t be necessary.
That it is is something to be concerned about. “

That was my first thought also. First Amendment should cover it right?

But the intellectual pseudo-elites rule their subjects with an iron fist. I’m sure there are many who could beat them in court, but what 19 year old kid, trying to cope with the demands of their studies and the cultural shock that goes with moving into an environment, so different from what they were accustomed, wants to challenge it.

We’ll see how the order is written and presented, and you can be sure that academics will challenge it. This should keep the courts busy for quite some time before it get all sorted out.

*******************
They ban anything negative simply because of fear. If anyone is guilty of Islamophobia, it is those who censor any criticism of it tenants.

It’s sort of reminds me of the LBJ Administration and their Rules of Engagement for Thud [F-105 Thunderchiefs] strikes up in North Vietnam dot-dot. They were not allowed to take out Sam missile sites because McNamara and his cabal were afraid that they might incite ill feelings from the Chinese and Soviets who were backing the North Vietnamese Army. This is ludicrous thought.

The First Amendment basically only covers public universities. That is why you are technically safer to speak out at Berkeley than at Stanford which can promulgate any sort of Stalinist “conduct code” it wants. But you can bet Stanford gets hundreds of millions in federal government grants.
