Opinion: Trump’s proposal to enforce campus free speech will only hurt conservatives
By Musa al-Gharbi March 5 at 3:52 PM Musa al-Gharbi is a Paul F. Lazarsfeld fellow in sociology at Columbia University.
Again, given that Trump himself believes that there is no crisis, and given that the trends over the past year have been positive, it is important to see this maneuver for what it is: an attempt to give red meat to a Republican base that increasingly views higher education as a culture war issue. Under these circumstances, more free expression will probably just amount to deeper distrust, increased vitriol and more partisan conflict. Those on the left would resent any increased impositions and grow less likely to engage with the perspectives of conservatives with charity and in good faith. They would instead grow more likely to impute bad motives or pathologies to people on the right.
Consider: Many religious schools receive federal funding. Liberty University, for instance, gets nearly half a billion dollars per year. Yet Liberty University has also faced widespread criticism for its lack of viewpoint diversity and, at times, its outright censorship of those who contradict university president Jerry Falwell Jr.
