Texas campuses will have to allow free speech, not satire

The University of Texas in Austin has agreed to end its Campus Climate Response Team to end a lawsuit. The university clearly violated campus free speech.

The UT website states the team was enacted to help students report hateful comments, prejudiced behavior, or other incidents of alleged bias. Examples include derogatory graffiti, verbal harassment, hostile classroom environments, or hateful written comments in regard to topics such as citizenship, race, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

It sounds like pre-war Germany.

The nonprofit group Speech First reportedly filed a lawsuit in 2018, claiming the university “created an elaborate investigatory and disciplinary apparatus to suppress, punish, and deter speech that other students deem ‘offensive,’ ‘biased,’ ‘uncivil,’ or ‘rude,’” KVUE News reports.

The lawsuit eventually led to this settlement. Unfortunately, UT might develop an alternative system.

REPORT OF BILL TO ALLOW FREE SPEECH

How did we get to the point that we need a law to guarantee free speech on a campus?

The only hostile classroom environments are the ones created by leftist professors against conservative students and even liberal students who don’t fall in lockstep with their communist indoctrination. As far as hateful written comments in regard to topics such as citizenship, race, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity, who gets to decide what is hateful? Who decides what is hate speech? And what about the irrational and unrelenting hatred spewed towards conservatives? I suppose that’s alright.

Over the summer a dope and video games aficionado turned to me and said…this society is already destroyed.
The exasperated joker meme is classic with the caption, no it isn’t getting worse it just getting more obvious now.
The other day my nephew turned to me and said why are you an evil monster?
We had a gut busting laugh and it felt so good.
