(Natural News) A total of 24 states across the country have now either introduced or passed legislation in defense of the freedom of speech on public college campuses, according to Campus Reform.
The states that have already passed legislation in defense of the freedom of speech on campus include Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Lawmakers in 16 other states, including Texas, California, New York, Washington and others, are currently campaigning to pass similar free speech legislation.
The last state to pass such a measure was the state of Florida, whose governor Rick Scott recently signed a bill banning “free speech zones” on college campuses. In addition, the legislation also gives individuals the ability to sue universities if they violate their “expressive rights,” which will undoubtedly curb the amount of political censorship that occurs on campuses across the country.
>protecting them from (((left wing))) bullies I don't know how you can even frame this as political shit flinging when this benefits fucking everyone
William Sanchez
It's pointing out the fact that too many liberals are too quick to censor and oppress anyone who disagrees with them, aka SJWs. They at least need to be made to see that it makes themselves look bad as well as their cause look bad.
Carson Ramirez
Go away commie
Bentley Brooks
and what you think nazi germany wasn't a thing? where you get fucking jailed if you try to mock nazis? don't even pretend like this isn't a universal problem or that it could never happen to you because cheering someone who gets arrested for disagreeing with you is exactly how it happens
Luke Cooper
While it does benefit everyone, the atmosphere of college environments previously benefitted only the "correct" opinions. Now an open discourse can occur free of censorship and bullying at least in theory
Brayden Torres
except thats a lie and most colleges would let anyone speak like normal. you just had those few get into the news while hundreds of others went on like business as usual letting churches hang up pictures of dead fetuses
Sebastian Gutierrez
"except thats a lie and most colleges would let anyone speak like normal" Schlomo, do you really think people are so insulated that they don't see the absolute deluge of criticism from countless sources, including and most notably FIRE, of the communistic oppression of any and all speech that even partially contradicts the leading Left narrative?
Hudson Gutierrez
A beacon of light shines in an increasingly dark world.
Jaxson Cruz
ok
Jordan Davis
where did i say im against this? you're playing the same knee jerk reaction game sjw's do
Jason Diaz
He isn't a commie any longer.
Christopher Martin
You're just as bad as the commies.
Connor Davis
Oh sweetie, calm down and unplug your keyboard. Good boi.
Josiah Gray
Trump will probably undo this and call it overblown
Chase Long
Whiney little bitches can't handle the bantz so they have to get laws enacted to protect their feelings. The right are a bunch of pussies.
Ryder Rivera
If you get in their faces and start yelling/sperging out then yes. Otherwise no.
James Stewart
This is why we need restrictions in free speech, so idiots like you can be locked away.
Henry Ramirez
this is literally non-political. and just allowing what was already allowed (except for that dick in florida who banned free-speech zones. wtf? figures it's the republican douche who would be the traitor passing a law contrary to the constitution he swears to uphold)
Hunter Morgan
Fuck off, Zig Forums. The legislation was sorely needed, and your lies won't change the reality of the situation.
Jaxon Edwards
Do you leftists do anything but fucking lie? Seriously, do you have any respect for the truth? Any at all?
Oliver Hughes

Gabriel Lopez
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
FREE SPEECH ZONES wtf amerimutts never cease to make my day with all those freedoms they enjoy in the cunrty of free
Nolan Hughes
I know this will get some responses so Imma post it. :^)
wad about that fat bully with the big mouth & belly and small hands & penis? Who's gonna protect me from him?
Caleb Carter
No, it’s called echo chamber
Anthony Mitchell
You are an ignoramus. What he actually banned was having free speech limited to a small "free-speech zone" instead of free-speech being allowed all ower campus.
Jonathan Ortiz
...
Thomas Green
It also means that place does not have any free-speech, which is a huge problem if it is a school. Censoring conservative opinions is a pretty big indication of a problem in any institute of learning.
Easton Jones
Last I checked, nazi Germany hasn't existed for more than 65 years, while many universities in the US have a problem with lefties silencing people of different opinions than themselves. So yes, it is very much a problem of the left today.
Tyler Diaz
haha, classic
Easton Howard
I lost faith in XKCD when this comic came out. A guy that educated shouldn't be confusing the Second Amendment with the general liberal concept of the Right of Free Speech.
what an abhorrent, low effort post. I'm not even that guy.
Anthony Smith
Econ classes are right-wing college safe spaces. It's funny because of how much of the actually important material is based on Marxist Economics, they just removed his name from it and signed their own instead.
Noah Bell
Hey guys, I just took the longest, bloodiest shit that almost nearly killed me. Because it was so painful and labor intensive it is worth a significant amount, and I'm sure people will be willing to pay thousands of dollars for my intense labor. After that, I will push a rock up a mountain for hours and get paid a ridiculous sum as that too is a very laborious thing to do. Labor, labor, labor, labor, labor, labor, labor, workers rights.
John Morgan
Mate you think left vs right is communism vs capitalism to the mind of a normalfag? I don't know what it actually is to them, but centrist natsoc is far right to them
Jayden Cook
Because it's bullshit excuses for supporting the closed up hive-mind and not really appropriate when the subject matter here involves institutions typically supported by and often part of the government
JS Mill was a quack who knew nothing about how the mind/society works in practice (not surprising considering he was also a feminist) and how if a lie is repeated enough idiots will start to believe it. This is the reason the Heebs and their enablers get away with so much. You can prove them wrong time and again but they will "win" simply by virtue of coming back each day spouting the same bullshit as if nothing happened until they simply "win" by attrition.
James Johnson
Dogshitocrats hate dissenting opinions.
Elijah Perry
That is precisely why different opinions must be allowed to be challenged. The majority of people seem to be gullible fools and may believe almost any bullshit if they've heard it repeated enough times. If free speech is allowed, then at least the different ideas are able to be questioned and considered from different perspectives allowing insights and information to be shared.
Juan Reed
There are a whole plethora of reasons why free speech doesn't work. What's more important is freedom of information and access to that information so that people can form their own opinions without the help of (((experts))) with vested interests trying to persuade them with dishonest tactics.
