Should @POTUS sign an executive order withholding all federal funds from all public universities that do not fully comply with the free speech protections of the First Amendment?
PS the free speech protections of #1A applied to universities are nicely explained in this guide by @TheFIREorg :https://www.thefire.org/first-amendment-library/special-collections/fire-guides/fires-guide-to-free-speech-on-campus-3/ …
Aren't they already required by law?
In principle, yes. In practice, they don't, because it's too much trouble to sue them.
Public universities are arms of the state, bound by the US Constitution. They often have policies that flagrantly violate #1A. See @TheFIREorg for details.
'People can just sue' if someone systematically violates their civil rights is one of the most privileged, unrealistic things I've ever heard.
No. Power granted, has to be power constrained against abuse, and an open-ended invitation is going to be abused eventually. Incremental progress is a frustrating approach but is ultimately more durable, less susceptible to commandeering/resteering/redirection from above.
I would agree if I could see any path for incremental progress for academic free speech, but I honestly don't.
Good lord. You want Donald Trump making these decisions for us?
Incidentally *this* is a great example of why I’m a conservative.
