This is what our legislature believes to be a priority?
Exactly. Just nonsense.
Free speech should always be a priority! It’s the 1st amendment for a reason…..
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Actually, Brian, the First Amendment is only the 1st amendment because the original first amendment wasn’t ratified. Otherwise the current First Amendment would have been the 2nd Amendment. The Founders didn’t put them in the order of importance.
While such a law would seem to be unneeded because the First Amendment applies to those colleges and universities, the fact is many of those institutions have to be dragged into court to stop infringing on students’ free speech rights. A law that codifies those federal constitutional principles would further emphasize to those colleges and universities that they need to follow the law. It’s not a bad bill for that reason.
