Trump: Colleges that don't support 'free speech' will lose federal funding
President Trump announced Sunday that colleges and universities will get federal research funding only if they meet certain "free speech" standards.
That is according to the Washington Post.
Trump made the point at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. He said he will soon sign an executive order making this official.
He truly cannot see the irony in what he is saying.
Tell what the irony is, muslim.
That the most anti free speech jackass ever is now deciding what is and isnt acceptable. It is beyond absurd.
This, coming from the guy who's nation has some of the oppressive speech laws in the western world
You have a president literally wrapping himself up in the flag and announcing that he is going to set the bar on free speech. When will any of this concern you ?
The goal is to get universities to protect the free speech of conservatives, not hamper the free speech of liberals or even the schools.
Conservative speakers have been heckled mercilessly and hounded right off the campus to where they can't even give the speech they were invited to give. On one or two occasions the schools themselves cancelled conservative speaker appearances because of concerns about safety.
Trump is not the bad guy here and this measure is specifically due to the harassment conservative students and speakers receive on campuses.
