Texas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.
Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.
Do not worry friends. The Great Republic of Texzanistahn will soon realize their folly and once again make it legal for men to talk on college campuses at night.
The Republic of Gilead, you mean
I guarantee you, they’ll try to rename it to that, just for shits and giggles or something
