I think that edgy and controversial attitude is why colleges should let students have debate clubs, or clubs where students with differing opinions can hash things out calmly. A speaker, on the other hand, is not spreading a different viewpoint, it's putting a viewpoint above every other viewpoint. Forcing unis to allow conservative speakers under a threat of a fine is the government literally enforcing a viewpoint in a way that indoctrinates students. I'm a left-leaning centrist libertarian socialist, and I'd have no problem going to talks presented by far-left or far-right speakers, but a talk given by someone saying I'm subhuman, deserve to be raped, or should be killed for who I am? That's fucked up. The government shouldn't be forcing colleges to allow speakers spouting that kind of thing. If this was the government trying to enforce and NPR-style "no political bias" rule for public colleges, that would be awesome, but this isn't what's going on. The first paragraph of the article makes it clear they want to force colleges to let transphobes speak. Hell, the article itself even seems to have a huge bias for this law, juxtaposing shitty beliefs with left-wing beliefs to push a narrative: "Asked about cases where students had tried to deny speaking slots to Tatchell, a gay rights campaigner, and Greer, a feminist writer, over their views on transgender issues".
