Trump to guarantee free speech on campuses. How about it, State Senate?

Pat Powers

From the Hill, President Trump announced today that he is signing an executive order to guarantee the free expression of speech on college campuses:

President Trump announced Saturday he intends to sign an executive order mandating colleges and universities take steps to guarantee free speech to attain federal research grants.

“We reject oppressive speech codes, censorship, political correctness and every other attempt by the hard left to stop people from challenging ridiculous and dangerous ideas. These ideas are dangerous,” Trump said. “Instead we believe in free speech, including online and including on campus.”

Today I’m proud to announce that I will be very soon signing an executive order requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research grants.”

That’s a nice move by the President. Now if the State Senate (who rejected protecting free-speech in Senate State Affairs committee) could do the same, South Dakota students could be fully protected.

How about it, State Senate? This is a great opportunity to tell your supporters that you stand with the President on the issue of free speech.

  1. “Darling, is the wind blowing today? I’d like to watch television, Darling.” Yes, the speech had many great lines… Play some Malkin highlights ?

  2. Note that Trump, an executive, took executive action on this issue. What the hell is holding Noem up?

    1. I would venture to guess if Governor Noem would have taken executive action, you would have bellyached that she is trying to be a dictator.

  3. As always, the whack jobs don’t realize rules work both ways…. When they get reminded they will be hissi-fitting til it runs down their legs……

  4. I’m sure the Regents and USD admin are not pleased with the Law School admin right now. Do they not pay attention to what’s going on? Very tone deaf on their part. But the Hawaiian Day is just the most expedient example. There will plenty more to come – the PC police on campus can’t help themselves no matter what policy or law is put in place.

    1. The Board of Regents have known of this problem for a long time. And what have they done? They sit on their hands. Time for Noem to act like an executive and fire them, replacing them with people who value liberty.
