Trump says he’ll sign executive order for free speech on college campuses

“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.”

On one hand, it’s a no-brainer. If there’s any place that should support free speech, it’s a college.

On the other hand, colleges will now be put between either losing federal funds or being burned to the ground by leftists outraged that the college allows its students to publicly support conventional political positions.

I imagine a lot of college campii are becoming miniature surveillance states. it should thus become relatively straightforward, by watching numerous camera feeds, to figure out who the masked Antifa thugs are and to expel them. it would be better in the long run to simply get rid of the violent whackaloons than to lose federal funding. This will likely mean that a lot of libart identity studies courses will dry up and blow away, but that, in the final analysis, is better for society anyway.
