Unnecessary Law:

“Public universities in the United States are already bound by the First Amendment and cannot discriminate against viewpoints. Schools cannot ban speakers for espousing white nationalist views, Calvert said. In 2017, the University of Florida tried to stop conservative activist Richard Spencer from giving a speech at the school months after he led neo-Nazis and fellow white nationalists through Charlottesville, at the beginning of a Unite the Right rally that turned deadly. The university president relented after a lawsuit challenged his blocking of the speech.”

Parents send their children to college to be educated not indoctrinated, supposed reason for the law.

Tell me how is listening to other idea’s indoctrination? Isn’t that what education is all about. It’s up to the individual to decide what they will accept and what they won’t.

De Santis recently signed a law that Critical Race Theory cannot be taught in Florida’s public universities either.

“Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) says he is concerned about the free flow of ideas on campus and whether higher education stifles free speech from conservatives. Under a law he signed Tuesday, which will take effect July 1, public universities must assess “viewpoint diversity” on campus each year through a survey developed by the State Board of Education, a requirement that a free-speech expert predicted as a model for other conservative-led states.

Glad I don’t live in Florida. What a regressive government.
