Good day all. For the last 10+ years, we have seen the dark cloud of intolerance and censorship appear over colleges and universities. The Progressives, who have essentially taken control of the education system in the United States, have begun to suppress the opinions of anyone who doesn\u2019t toe the CommuNazi line.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have seen conservative speakers being threatened, shouted down and flat out banned by both the CommuNazi thugs and university administrations. Finally, some of the speakers took these totalitarians to court, and it finally reached the United States Supreme Court. The USSC, as it should, ruled in favor of the 1st<\/sup> Amendment and the right to speak your mind. Here are some of the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Recent First Amendment rulings by the Supreme Court could force courts and university administrators to take a closer look at controversial practices that have marginalized certain political views \u2013 often conservative ones \u2013 on campus. <\/b><\/p>\n

When they say \u201cMarginalized.\u201d they mean suppressed. To try and speak things that the universities don\u2019t want to hear invites, in the worst case scenarios, being forced from the schools.<\/p>\n

Free speech on campus has emerged as a hot debate in recent years, amid a rash of speakers being disinvited or violently protested. These issues are often handled in-house \u2013 but now, the courts could hold sway. <\/b><\/p>\n

The reason the courts have become involved is the flat out civil rights abuses by these colleges and university administrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should expect college campuses to truly be marketplaces of ideas where students learn to value free speech and open inquiry and take that lesson with them as they become the next generation of judges, legislators, teachers and voters,\u201d Casey Mattox, senior fellow for free speech and toleration at the libertarian Charles Koch Institute, told Fox News. <\/b><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way it should be and how most people thought it was. You go to college to get an education and to be exposed to many different ideas. The Progressive CommuNazis will not tolerate any views other then their own.<\/p>\n

One key ruling could be in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees<\/a>, which struck a direct blow to public-employee unions by holding government workers don\u2019t have to pay certain fees to labor groups. <\/b>But it included a free-speech component that could have a ripple effect on campus. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most public universities require students to pay student activity fees, which in some cases support lopsided politics, according to a report by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a campus free speech legal group. <\/b><\/p>\n

Lopsided doesn\u2019t begin to cover it. In many cases, when groups that weren\u2019t of the \u201cPolitically Favored\u201d variety applied for funds, they were not only flat out denied, they were run off the campuses.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court had rejected a 2000 challenge<\/a> to such fees, determining a school could require students to pay for the expression of views with which they disagree, as long as the university doesn\u2019t engage in viewpoint discrimination when allocating funds.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yeah, that was a joke of a decision, and typical of the Progressive justices on the bench. It also ignored the fact that forcing people to pay for something they oppose is tantamount to slavery. However, there has been a few changes in the court and it\u2019s beginning to show.<\/p>\n

However, the Janus decision more broadly prevents forcing one person to pay for someone else\u2019s political expression. <\/b><\/p>\n

As the story mentioned, that decision was primarily aimed at the CommuNazi controlled unions, but they wrote the decision rather broadly. It hasn\u2019t started yet, but it\u2019s only a matter of time before someone challenges a college administration on how they distribute these fees.<\/p>\n

Mattox argued schools may have to then take a close look at whether their student fees are used in a partisan way. Ironically, cracking down on these fees could free up student groups to bring more speakers onto campus \u2013 in turn, representing a more diverse set of views.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, many universities limit student group fundraising and prohibit dues \u2013 essentially requiring groups to be funded from these mandatory fees,\u201d said Mattox, also the former senior counsel for academic freedom at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty group. \u201cIf student groups could raise their own funds for speakers and have members pay dues, they could fund their own speakers even without mandatory dues.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

And that would allow viewpoints that the ruling elites<\/i><\/span> college administrations don\u2019t want to allow the \u201cYoung skulls full of mush\u201d to hear and reflect on. This hasn\u2019t been the only case the Supreme Court has ruled on regarding the right to speak.<\/p>\n

Similar to Janus, other recent cases<\/a> don\u2019t directly speak to campus free speech, but could establish new precedents, Mattox said. <\/b><\/p>\n

For instance?<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, in Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky<\/a>, struck down a Minnesota law that prevented anyone in close proximity of a polling place from wearing certain political-oriented clothing and apparel. The high court held the Minnesota law gave too much discretion to the interpretation of a polling worker or election judge. But, it said states can regulate expression near polling places if it is \u201cguided by objective, workable standards.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

I suspect that one is going to be heading back for further review by the court. There are way to many, on both sides of the political spectrum, (Although of late, it\u2019s been the Progressives working to suppress speech), who will see the loophole and drive a truck through it.<\/p>\n

This could push public universities and colleges to set more finite guidelines to determine how student fees are spent to avoid viewpoint discrimination, Mattox said.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mansky decision means that universities will need to guarantee they have systems in place to prevent discrimination against student groups seeking recognition, funding, or to reserve meeting space,\u201d Mattox said. <\/b><\/p>\n

These days, many state legislatures are taking the bull by the horns and passing laws making sure the 1st<\/sup> Amendment rights of all people are protected. Of course, there are those who oppose any attempt to protect the rights of people who don\u2019t hold the \u201cCorrect\u201d viewpoints.<\/p>\n

The states of Missouri, Arizona, Virginia, Utah, Colorado and Tennessee, North Carolina and Wisconsin all passed free speech laws for college campuses, according to an American Association of University Professor report<\/a> in April. Most of these laws prohibit limiting speech to free speech zones and bars viewpoint discrimination. <\/b>However, the AAUP opposes these laws and proposals.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if the current political environment poses significant problems for free speech, the view that the free exchange of ideas no longer occurs on campuses is grossly exaggerated,\u201d the AAUP\u2019s April report concludes. \u201cMany of the most difficult issues surrounding free speech at present are about balancing unobstructed dialogue with the need to make all constituencies on campus feel included.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The AAUP is just another pack of ivory tower elites who only see what they want to see. They also, by their own admission, don\u2019t really care if there is a problem with freedom of speech on campuses. Well, guess what? There is and it\u2019s moving into violence.<\/p>\n

The Antifa thugs and their fellow travelers are now assaulting people who are going to here the conservative speakers. Most of these actions are taking place on campuses with very weak kneed administrators in states run by the CommuNazis. You aren\u2019t seeing these assaults happening in places where the targets of these attacks might just be armed and willing to shoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Things are coming to a head in this country. The Progressives have no arguments left to make, so they\u2019re resorting to the outright suppression of any other voice not their own. At this time, the victims of their assault on liberty are working through the 3rd<\/sup> box of liberty and hopefully, the 4th<\/sup> box will never need to be opened.<\/p>\n
