Trump signs executive order on free speech on college campuses

[Ford_Prefect]

56. Several campus situations I am aware of regulate according to intimidation and behavior rather

the spoken or written expression. They fall under the heading of public safety and are pretty well though out. They have so far stood up to 1st amendment challenges along the lines of you may not yell FIRE just because you feel like it and you don't have the right to intimidate or harass as personal expression because that would allow you to restrict someone else's speech.

1st amendment rights go through quite a lot of distortion in the hands of those right wing fanatics who want the privilege for themselves and no one else. Its interesting when you ask whom may NOT speak back to them. It suddenly seems that no one may contradict them without interfering with their rights. That is not in the Constitution yet they are certain it is the essence of the amendment.

Like certain evangelicals I have met they do not tolerate reasoned debate or questions derived from fact.
