Strips federal funding from colleges that limit the First Amendment
A Republican Congressman told The College Fix that he believes his “ Campus Free Speech Restoration Act ” will win bipartisan support.
“It is my hope that Washington Democrats will come to the table on the issue of free speech protections and support this bill,” Representative Greg Murphy ( right ) told The College Fix through a spokesperson. “I will continue to advocate for this important bill in the House Education and Labor Committee and look forward to its passage in the not-so-distant future.”
The North Carolina Republican’s legislation would end federal funding for any public university that creates free-speech zones, bias reporting programs or in any other way violates a student’s First Amendment rights.
“College provides a unique opportunity for students to be challenged and share perspectives,
Murphy said. “Liberal educator’s attempt to sterilize education with left-wing propaganda does our nation a huge disservice.”
He said he is “optimistic” that the labor and education committee will move his bill to the full House.
And while the bill primarily holds public universities accountable, he also wants transparency from private colleges.

The legislation “obligates private higher learning institutions to honestly disclose their policies that relate to free expression and requires them to be upheld,” Murphy said.
Free-speech group has some reservations about the bill The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education raised some concerns to The College Fix about the legislation.While being “a solid starting point,” the bill “has things that should be amended or changed before it should be enacted,” FIRE’s Legislative and Policy Director Joe Cohn told The Fix in an interview.He said that the legal standards and language of the legislation on free-speech zones should be changed to align with Supreme Court precedent.Cohn is also concerned about giving power to the Department of Education to adjudicate free-speech codes.Cohn said “it would probably be wise for the legislation to not empower the Department of Education to be involved in all campus free speech disputes.”FIRE is also concerned that the complete revocation of funds for a Title IX violation is “draconian.”“We see [problems] in the […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
