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.
The irony that Texas is becoming literally the least free state is not lost on me.
Texass
But who will announce that the stars at night are big and bright?
Clap clap clap clap

Sorry for the stupid question but why do Texas wants that?
Fascism
Weaponizing the courts. They know this nonsense won’t pass the constitutional smell test. They will use this via the courts to tear down something else they don’t like.
Paywall.
