My vote goes to the candidate that supports free speech. Today that’s mostly republicans and I’ve come to terms with that. Yesterday it was Democrats and it may be Democrats again tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure Republicans are presently trying to pass a bunch of speech restrictions on campus aimed at curbing Critical Race Theory. CRT is hot garbage to be sure, but Republicans--unwilling to cede the moral low ground--are opting to solve the problem by way of speech codes and assaults on academic freedom.

They're not limiting any student from talking about it, just it from being taught, because it's indoctrinating Marxist bullshit. No different than them trying to teach Creationism.

Agreed that they're not banning students from talking about it and that it's BS, but as far as I know state governments don't have laws that forbid teaching creationism in public universities.

They have lawsuits preventing teaching creationism in public universities, based on the Establishment Clause.
