The Trump regime is actively suppressing speech at major American universities.
President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders bar diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all educational institutions that receive federal funds.
Last week, Trump threatened in a social media post to punish any university that permits “illegal” protests but did not define what he meant by illegal protests.
On Friday, he cancelled hundreds of millions in grants and contracts with Columbia University for allowing peaceful protests the regime dislikes.
On Saturday, Trump’s immigration officials arrested Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil — who is a permanent resident of the United States with a green card and an American wife — and sent him to a prison in Louisiana. Why? He did not engage in criminal activity. The graduate student peacefully expressed political views that the regime dislikes.
Then on Monday, the Trump regime warned 60 universities that they could face penalties for allowing peaceful demonstrations and speech that the administration dislikes.
