Under constitutional law, American public universities are 'arms of the state' that must respect First Amendment free speech rights. Would you support an executive order from POTUS that withholds federal funding from any public universities that infringe on free speech?

Would you support it if "free speech" meant equal classroom time for creationists and young earthers?
'Free speech' doesn't mean 'equal time for all viewpoints'. It means students, staff, and faculty should be free to express their genuine views, and others should be free to disagree.

The important thing is how free speech is defined in the order. Depending on the wording it could easily be weaponized.

Free speech is already well-defined in constitutional law.

that's reasonable, but its not the way various state legislators have interpreted "free speech". That's the worry.
