Thursday afternoon, President Donald Trump signed an executive order advising colleges to respect students’ First Amendment right to free expression or risk losing federal funding.
The executive order is a fulfilled promise; Trump suggested, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held earlier this month, that he planned to mandate that colleges and universities respect students’ right to free speech, particularly as it relates to accepting conservative speakers on campus. Today’s order reflects that intent.
