UT Austin published this video for Free Speech Week 6 mos ago. Q: Why can members of the public come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations A: State law in Texas allows members of the public...to come onto campus and use our common outdoor areas for speech activity
@stevanzetti Not if they speak against Israel and zionist.
@stevanzetti That is correct. The law also gives the university the authority to place time, place, and manner restrictions on gatherings. SCOTUS has determined such restrictions to be constitutionally permissible. Nothing says you can do whatever you want whenever you want.
@stevanzetti @GregAbbott_TX hey professor X why are you calling for students to be arrested, what did they do wrong??
@stevanzetti So Steven are you going to comment on the hate speech at the protests and the fact that rabbis at multiple campuses have cautioned Jewish students about their presence? Could that be part of the motivation of UT here to treat this differently? Conveniently left out by you.
@stevanzetti didn’t that letter they sent out to the PSC state that folks not from the university were going to be asked to leave if they came on campus for the protests yesterday?
@stevanzetti Cool, now do whether or not people can pitch a tent on university property and refuse to leave.
@stevanzetti You missed the disclaimer after the *. *Does not apply to negative speech directed at Israel (or Republicans). May only be used against the unprotected classes like American citizens or any foreign citizen or nation that we deem unworthy (especially Muslims & Latinos).
