NYT: Trump Says He Will Sign Free Speech Order for College Campuses

LOL.

 

Something I finally agree with that he is doing. Bravo. Bravo to everyone.

 

Yep. College Campuses and the public commons (does that even exist anymore) should be a total free flow of ideas. If someone wants to set up a MAGA table and hand out cookies and pamphlets, they should absolutely be able to do that.

 

This is horseshit. This is just cover for hate grous to target college campuses.

 

Not horseshit. If a student group (replace the "someone" I said earlier), say the College MAGAs or whatthe****ever, want to do something peaceful and hand out literature, have a speaker, they should be allowed to do something like that. I don't see what your problem is.

 

Bad ideas will lose in an open market place of ideas... why so worried?

 

Can we have some sort.of statistical fact based analysis of how often this happens?

The anti-sjw YouTube market along with the fact that people who eat up this type of content have YouTube algorithms spamming them every nook and cranny incident probably inflates the prevalence.

I would say most of the time, it's outside groups like a genuine troll like Milo trying to just be provocative. How often do students get shut down?

 

Does this include Satanist?
Why does Trump support Satanist

Rocket River
am I doing it right?

 

He only supports the orange demons at least.

 

Trump brings back the First Amendment to college campuses nationwide. What a time to be alive!

 

In related news, President Trump said on MAGA day that he planned to issue an executive order that would help suppress free speech at the NFL by putting their massive tax breaks at risk if they do not suppress the viewpoints of players of non-MAGA political stripes.

 

College campuses tend to be a bastion for political correctness, and there have been instances of people not being allowed to speak on campus for many years. I don't know what the numbers are, and to your point overall they may not be that high, but is that a reason to disagree with this position? As BruceAndre said in the OP, isn't this long overdue? It would certainly be HUGE news if it were happening in reverse, and everyone would be clamoring for action.

 

What you don't understand in your post is that this indicates it wasn't a bad idea. You think conservatives didn't think Obama was a bad idea? Would you agree with this same post with a pic of Obama winning? Or maybe more relevant, one of Hillary?

Dems will apparently never understand why Trump was elected. This is great news for conservatives, and for Trump.

 

This is a fair, and interesting, point. There are differences, but still worthy of discussing.

 

Electing a conman game show host with no grasp of reality is a bad idea, regardless of political affiliation.

 

What are the differences for you?

I’m sure there are differences and I haven’t quit figure out yet for myself when and what are the rare exceptions to free speech.

But if we want to take a principal stand - free speech as not just a cultural long standing norm but a constitutional protected right, we should be against a president that chooses and pick who should and should not exercise that right, which this president has done.

 

Again with platitudes. Is it a bastion of political correctness? Im currently a grad student in Massachusetts. Though it isn't in a social science or liberal arts field, I honestly experience more "anti-sjw" students than "sjw" students? Are my anecdotes any more or less relevant than your perceptions based on YouTube spam?

 

I understand. I was surrounded by 98% of people who eventually are massive Trump fans. I would say 90% of them support him out of a tribal desire to "own the libtards".

Let me guess, economic anxiety is the bs you want to shove down here?
