President Trump has previously talked about revoking public funding from campuses which tolerate the censorship of dissenting political views:
“If they want our dollars, and we give it to them by the billions, they’ve got to allow people like Hayden and many other great young people and old people to speak. Free speech. If they don’t, it will be costly.”
Concerns about Censorship of Conservatives
Over the past year, concerns about the censorship of conservatives have increased significantly. This is applicable to not only college campuses, but also on social networking platforms. Many Americans have noted that liberalism maintains its position as the dominant political ideology within colleges and universities. Furthermore, there are reports of conservative students facing backlash or flak simply for vocalizing points which dissent from leftism.
On social networking sites, the concerns pertain to the leanings of various platforms. After all, big tech groups and Silicon Valley are not known for being ultra conservative.
