May 6May 6 Oh look here come the totally not fascist dipshit posters that want to arrest people for speech again
July 17Jul 17 Author Related to the protests, abbot has signed into law new speech restrictions on campus between 10P and 8A. So much for campus free speech, huh? https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/free-speech/2025/06/23/texas-passes-bill-limiting-expressive-activity-campus Quote The new legislation, SB 2972, includes a number of limitations on how, when and where individuals can demonstrate on college campuses, striking a key provision in the 2019 bill that established all common outdoor spaces on a public campus as traditional public forums—spaces where anyone can engage in expressive activity. Now, college leaders will decide which areas are public forums. The bill also changes language from the 2019 legislation that says “all persons” can participate in expressive activities on college campuses to instead cover only “students enrolled at and employees of an institution of higher education,” leaving it up to individual colleges to determine whether the public is welcome to demonstrate there. The most contested provision of the law prohibits all expressive activities on public campuses from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. Because the legislation defines expressive activities broadly—as anything allowed under the First Amendment or the analogous section of Texas’s constitution—free speech experts and advocates have warned that the legislation would prohibit essentially all forms of expression between those hours, from wearing a red Make America Great Again hat to engaging in a heated debate in the dining hall. (A similar policy at Indiana University, which banned protests between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., was blocked last month by a federal judge.) What starts here changes the world.

This kind of shit is a big reason I’m sending my kids out of state for college. It’s sad. I always hoped my kids would be Longhorns, too.
