Trump signs executive order to protect free speech on college campuses

On Thursday President Donald Trump signed an executive order he says will protect free speech (this including Pro-Life free speech) at America’s colleges and universities by threatening to withhold certain federal funds from institutions that don’t protect their students’ dissenting speech and inquiry.

“It is the policy of the Federal Government to...encourage institutions to foster environments that promote open, intellectually engaging, and diverse debate,” the order reads, “including through compliance with the First Amendment for public institutions and compliance with stated institutional policies regarding freedom of speech for private institutions.”
