The executive order “Free Speech” has been signed by the honourable US president Donald Trump. This new order will let conservative students share their opinions and views at public universities. Whereas, US constitution has guaranteed the protection of students free speech right by the schools in its first amendment.
Schools should let students share their views for the grants offered by the 12 federal agencies which help in the funding of universities. Officials said that the student protestors have been molesting speaker right especially conservatives.
For the first time, President Trump supported conservative rights protection. However, he has been condemning the media news and defamation laws as vague.
On Thursday, Trump while signing the order took the matter to the universities who have been receiving funds from the federal government. This new order will help conservative students and speakers to express themselves freely & will not suffer any harm. Whereas, whomsoever caught demising the orders will get punished.
Officials said that this rule will ensure the right of “free speech” at the campuses. If the universities want the grants, they will have to promote free speech.
According to the American Association of State College and Universities, public schools are already promoting free speech rights following the constitution. Not just that, Officials said that they will follow their policies and will not let student tuition aid programs suffer.
