Executive order could strip colleges of funding if they don’t ‘support free speech’ - GoFuckYourself.com

wehateporn · 03-03-2019, 02:10 PM

A new executive order from the White House will aim to make federal research funding for colleges and universities contingent on their support for “free speech,” President Donald Trump said Saturday.

The announcement, during Trump’s address to the conservative conference CPAC, appeared to target complaints by some university critics that institutions of higher education stifle right-wing viewpoints.

So, in short, the party of less government now wants the government to decide who you must allow to speak at a college and if they don't approve you don't get money from them. . . that's not a free speech violation at all.

RedFred · 03-03-2019, 02:40 PM

Can't argue Trump is a real champion of free speech, after all he's called for Saturday Night Live, CNN, NBC, and The New York Times to be 'looked into' and 'challenged in court'.

Rightards are retarded, yes. But they have a right to be retarded in America just like the leftards.

If schools are going to allow one side to tard out, should let the other side tard out too. Liberty and justice for all.

Trump supporters will say this is a good thing.

180,000 jobs expected last month but only 20,000 created

Fastest deficit growth in history

Q4 2018 -$3.7 trillion largest drop in household wealth since 2009

2018 was the worst year for stocks since 2009

The DOW and S&P500 had their worse December since 1931.

Largest deficit in history

December's NASDAQ was the worst in it's history

Record number of farmers going bankrupt

Record 7,000,000 people 90 days or more behind on car payments

We have a RECORD trade deficit with China despite the tarrifs.

US households see biggest decline in net worth since the financial crisis

Americans' net worth fell at the highest level since the financial crisis in the fourth quarter of 2018 as sliding stock market prices ate into the household balance sheet.

Net worth dropped to $104.3 trillion as the year came to an end, a decrease of $3.73 trillion from the third quarter, according to figures released Thursday by the Federal Reserve. The fall amounted to a drop of 3.4 percent.

Much of the slide came due to Wall Street's woes, as the stock market suffered a precipitous decline that started in October and briefly reached bear market status. Equities skidded as investors began to fear that the Fed would keep raising interest rates even as economic conditions began to deteriorate.

By the time the market drop ended in late December, households saw $4.6 trillion worth of equity value deteriorate. The decline was offset somewhat by a $300 billion increase in real estate value. The overall move was the second-highest quarterly dollar drop since the Fed began tracking the statistic.

Overall, financial assets totaled just more than $85 trillion at the end of the year, while real estate value was $29.2 trillion.

Household net worth has been rising strongly since the crisis and is up 73 percent since 2009.

After suffering their worst Christmas Eve in history, stocks staged a turnaround and ultimately saw their best two-month start to a year since at least 1991. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is off about 1.6 percent in March though still up more than 9 percent year to date.

The fall in net worth came during a quarter when GDP rose 2.6 percent, according to a first estimate. That was part of a year that saw growth near 3 percent despite a lackluster period for financial markets. Economists largely expect 2019 to start with little growth in the economy, as the Atlanta Fed sees GDP up just 0.5 percent.

So if colleges don't allow free speech they don't get government funding. Good to see you standing up for freedom of speech.

TheSquealer · 03-10-2019, 07:49 AM

Oh the horror.... equal time for different view points if the Federal Government and Tax Payers are paying for it.

Of course the intolerant and hostile Left, known for violent protests and violently attacking speakers with ideas that they don't agree with, HATES this idea.

No one is trying to dictate who they must let speak. It's about an equal platform for everyone. Or do you lefties not believe in equality any more? How about when Berkeley students rioted and burned down half the campus because Milo, a gay dude married to a black guy, wanted to give a speech? Or when Ann Coulter had to cancel her event due to threats of violence? Fuck all those dumb snowflakes. Pull their funding if that's how they wish to behave.

Nice to make headlines with this and boost the base but,
we wonder why the courts are pressured as much as they are because you know this will be challenged when it is executed in practice because some neo-nazi wants to insight violence on the steps of education. And that is the target... education.

Just one more move to destabilize the nation and keep it polarized. It's the only way he can win a election. You vote the issues he creates and not those that are effecting you in a direct way.

The only issues Trump wins at are the ones he has went out of his way to conflate.
Using the EU as template. Putin probably giving him tips.

How so? It's the Antifa leftists who carry weapons and assault people, which is documented. Did you even see the video of dude getting sucker punched, which prompted this action from Trump? Please elaborate on your statement.

This is good.if you’re federally funded you should be obligated to allow both sides to have fair discourse

It makes the federal government, with all its power and authority, a party to defining the very nature of discussion on campus.

We have courts to decide what is free speech where it may be confusing under the law.
