Opinion | Jessica Levinson: President Trump's new executive order protecting free speech on college campuses could actually harm free speech. - NBCNewsTHINK

The First Amendment exists so that the government cannot tell us how and when we speak. And yet, this executive order could result, albeit indirectly, in doing just that.Again, nothing on the face of the executive order says anything other than that colleges and universities that accept federal funds must do what they are already doing — adhering to the First Amendment and institutional policies regarding the freedom of speech.

Republicans regularly criticize colleges and universities for allegedly promoting liberal speakers and stifling conservative ones. These criticisms often point to a few high-profile examples that suggest oversensitivity, at the very least. For example, in 2017 students at Middlebury College in Vermont

THINK WHAT A FKN LIAR, ROT IN HELL MR PRESIDENT ESCORTED OFF OF VA PROPERTY BY ARMED GAURDS TOLD ME THAT I HAVE NO 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AT VA PROPERTY BECAUSE OF DONALD CHUMP AND ROBERT SWAN MUELLER III, BOTH CRIMINALS VIOLATION OF SECTION 242 OF TITLE 18,FELONS

THINK Don't we already have the first amendment?

THINK The “government agency” already charged with ensuring that free speech is promoted is the judiciary. Trump’s executive order is meant to clamp down on free expression, and the judiciary will ultimately strike it down like a poll tax or voting literacy test.

THINK Really NBC ?

THINK Gobbly gook. Only a far left lawyer could invent this and of course the MSM jumps up to put it on a loudspeaker

THINK Upholding the Bill of Rights against those who would have it dismantled is not intrusion.

THINK Omg! Only the far left would conspire against free speech.

THINK This supposed protection of free speech is basically about forcing colleges to let bigots speak on their campuses

THINK FASCISTS NEVER SLEEP!!!

THINK Lol

THINK Does 1A cover nbc taking orders from the dems?

THINK Finally!

Opinion | Trump probably wasn’t thinking about these campus free-speech problemsThere is an epidemic of challenges to open expression across the political spectrum. The campus is free speech in the first place. I'm just saying, as a student at one, I'm inclined to be skeptical of this claim. So many unnecessary words in this headline... *Trump probably wasn't thinking. FTFY

Saying Impeaching Trump Isn't Worth It Is Like Saying He is Above the Law | OpinionDon’t we get to hear the truth? Don’t our opinions matter? Or is this just an insiders’ game that’s all about power? She is waiting for Mueller's report. It's not worth it until that is completed. Impeaching him now without the Mueller report would just fire up the Republicans in 2020 to reelect Pence. We need a way of removing incompetence without replacing them with someone of their choosing Exactly!! It is worth it to go through the process if impeachable offenses can be brought, per the Constitution. Trump has provided a cornucopia of options! Pick one, any one....please.
