This isn't a violation of the 1st amendment, you aren't owed free money from the governmeant xD

Like who they choose to give money to is their own choice, these universities can still exist without governmeant grants

That the governmeant is not in favor of something or won't support something is different from not allowing them to exist

yes it is. universities receiving public funds from the gov are public institutions that are using taxes to operate. Therefore the government should not be allowed to revoke this funding based on things that violate amendments, effectively banning BDS demonstrations on campuses otherwise public funds will be rejected... is a violation of the first amendment because the 1st amendment specifically protects us from the government limiting speech

mainly because this has to do with tax money you see

The Governmeant isn't limiting the speech, it's just not providing tax revenue. For the same reason a police officer can be fired for saying antisemetic stuff or racist language, the same is true of choosing who to give money to

public funds from everyone

and its not like the government doesn't have a record of this shit in other areas

People who work for the governmeant can be fired for being racist and whatnot

The same applies to cutting funding to places

You don't have to give these people money

you are equivocating things that are not equal

non-sequiter

except people who directly work for the fed represent them by association

students don't fall under that responsibility

They are essentially equal, this represents the governmeant, any entity it provides funding to, and it shouldn't provide funding to them if they are bad, for the same reason we shouldn't give money to Iran, or any other antisemetic organization

And who the governmeant gives money to represents them by association

no they arent essentially equal

If we started funding random dictatorships that would be a bad thing and reflect poorly on the U.S. right

it makes sense not to give an antisemetic organization money

From the governmeant

or an organization that is outwardsly antisemetic etc.

nah you think you are making sense

but you arent

I am

and you are wrong

Nope

yep

The 1st amendment does not give you the right to free money from the governmeant

once again false equivalence

It just means you can say whatever you want to say without legal consequences, not that the governmeant might decide to stop giving you money

I mean they can basically stop funding universities for any reason they like and this is just one of the stated reasons

For all it matters they could cut all funding to all universities

Well first we just disagree that BDS is anti-semitic, and B, the openness of that definition, coupled with the clear motivation of the government to directly intervene on this or any other political speech, is what we're concerned about

every's argument is basically "well dont be antisemitic then"

They're not intervening on their political speech, they can say whatever they want

lol ok retard

An organization is not owed benefits from the governmeant

Outside of life-threatining services

So like, no, they don't have to give them free money

what do you not understand about universities specifically being public institutions
