SB 2972 would require public universities in Texas to adopt policies prohibiting “engaging in expressive activities on campus between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.” Expressive activity includes “any speech or expressive conduct” protected by the First Amendment or Texas Constitution.

Let's do the same thing with the second amendment and see how that goes over in Texas. "You have the right to bear arms, but not when you should be in bed...."

" a similar policy at Indiana University that required prior approval for protests on campus occurring between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m"

Kinda off topic but I think we need a different word for this kind of "protest". If you're gathering at a place chosen by the people you're protesting against, at a time chosen by the people you're protesting against, you aren't protesting. You're having a protest-roleplaying picnic

Land of the free

Okaaaay...we'll just do it in the daytime, where more people can witness it and more people can join us ✌️😂

GOP Congressmen are weak, ineffectual, inverse virtue signalers. We can't let them just hang around like the Confederates did after the Civil War, which is a big part of why we're back here again.

Y'all are speedrunning that antifreedom thing eh?

I'd say that this is such a clear violation of the 1st amendment that it would be struck down quicker than Trump on a PDF File candidate but with all things given....

How do they expect people to get a degree if you cant stay up all night in a lab bashing 3 heads at a problem?

What an absolute madness

" The overnight ban on expressive activities is unfathomably broad. Off the top of our heads, here are just a few examples of what such a policy would prohibit on campus between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.: Meeting with other students to socialize or study, writing an email, working on a research paper, posting on social media, reporting for the student newspaper, wearing a T-shirt with a slogan, dancing, playing music, painting a picture, or praying at a sunrise service. "

I can hear them hurrying with a text that prevents any sort of protest, they came up with this.

Update: This article was published on June 5. Since then, Gov. Greg Abbott has signed Senate Bill 2972 into law. It will take effect Sept. 1.

Texans should exercise their second amendment in order to protect their first. Kill traitors to the Constitution.

Not even developing countries have such bullshit campus "laws", WTF is this shit?

Sounds like it violates a couple of amendments, there.

Free speech hours, what the actual fuck? Are the GOP alien lizards that need quiet time at night?

If and when you're allowed to speak, you may speak freely. It's just that you're not allowed to speak. Rather than limiting 'freedom of speech' it's limiting 'speech'. So that's alright.

Republican Free Speech(tm)*

*terms and conditions apply

10 p.m. to 8 a.m seems like a terrible time to protest

Another day another Texass lesson in stupidity.

zionism is just flatly incompatible with American free speech. There will be a backlash to this overreach and I wouldnt want to be a zionist when it happens.

That ASL Elective is about to fill up.

People in Texas go to college? You'd assume otherwise due to their abundance of grunting mammalians they call residents.

This would not have flied in the catholic college I attended for two years. Heck it would have reduced academic performance. A whole lot of group study happens after 10pm. Some folks I know its the only time they studied snoozing through out the day between classes.
