Texas is about to ban talking on college campuses at night. Seriously.

Texas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.

Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.

  • 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.

    • Inverse virtue signalers? Does that mean they're "vice signalers," or...?

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