Only if it supports Trump.

“Orange Man Bad!” is perfectly okiley-dokiley.

Chalking the sidewalk seems rather juvenile.

Iowa must revoke their charter immediately and shut the school down.
This is no longer a bastion of education and research but an indoctrination center/adult day care.

Memo to college students from administration:

Your alleged freedom of speech is no more valid than your supposed gun rights.
We are still a gun free zone and now a speech restricted zone.
The Constitution is what we college administrators rule it to be.
You have been warned.

Highly educated university leadership but no common sense or knowledge. An enterprising student could jump on board this free speech infringement lawsuit and pick up some cash for a nice spring break trip.

perfect situation for the Trump administration to step in IF they’re serious about their campus free speech executive order issued in March of 2019:

If this University takes federal grant funds, it can be sued for the violation of 1st amendment protected right of free speech.

Censorship at its tyrannical best? And the lock step indoctrinated, little leftists student body will accept it.

This’ll be shot down by the end of the week (if not sooner).

I’m always amazed how liberals manage to eliminate our constitutional rights on government property.

As are many so-called universities that perpetuate and enable juvenile behavior.

Some conservative group ought to do a test. Have someone email a few pro-Trump comments. Have someone else email a few anti-Trump comments. Then see what happens.

I’m betting that those emails won’t be treated the same way.

Wait. What is stopping one student from sending an email to another student via their cell phones? The school has zero day on this.

Is the university paying for the email account? Even a university administration would not be dumb enough to try to censor messages from student-owned computers and email accounts, even if they used university wifi.

Iowa State University, as you sign in and become a student...you get a university email address (like Joey.Jones@IowaState.x).

You get file storage space, data sharing capability (like Googles deal), a calendar, etc. So what they are hinting at...that university system will not turn into some massive political tool. If you want to use your own personal account, to send email to like-minded students who have a Yahoo or Google email address....you can still do that.

It would be the same way at a company which provides email addresses, and they mandate no religious emails, NCAA football emails, or political stuff.
