A quote from the Lt. Gov of Texas, who is also leader of the Texas state Senate. "“During the upcoming 88th Legislative Session, one of my priorities will be eliminating tenure at all public universities in Texas. To address already-tenured professors, we will change tenure reviews from every 6 years to annually,” Patrick said. “Additionally, we will define teaching Critical Race Theory in statute as a cause for a tenured professor to be dismissed,” he added." There is too much hand-wringing amongst the liberals, accusing each other of being anti free speech; when in reality, as always, the people who are actually anti-speech are the supposed conservatives. Witness conservatives use the power of government to un-Constitutionally suppress speech by banning books from libraries, to requiring professors to register their political affiliation (in Florida), to banning what students can or can't learn or even hear about in class. I'm trying to be fair and think of an instance where American liberals used their legislative power to outright ban ideas, and I can't think of a singular instance. I suppose this is what it means to be an outgroup, unprotected by the 1st Amendment, yet still bound by anti-speech codes at the State/local level (currently).
