Its a shame that the state representatives had to propose a bill that merely protects freedom of speech rights contained in the U.S. Constitution to begin with.

Students who think it is acceptable to silence individuals, who hold viewpoints with with they disagree, need to learn a few things about this country, its laws and its purpose.

They also need to understand that unpopular or discriminatory views espoused by white supremacy groups, BLM, Antifa (actually fascists themselves) or radical Muslims, to name a few, are best denounced by letting these people express them, thus exposing their own absurdity in the public forum where astute Americans, including college students, do not need anyone to filter a fundamentally bad message or act as the self-anointed moral spokesmen.

The description in this article of the USG meeting shows the need for this bill in the never-ending fight to uphold constitutional rights that sadly some students and USG members are trying to deny.
