President Trump’s latest Truth Social post is sending shockwaves through social media and college campuses. He’s threatening to cut federal funding for schools that allow “illegal protests” and expel or imprison students who participate. But here’s the reality:
The President does NOT have unilateral power to revoke federal funds—it’s a legal process involving Congress and the courts.
Students have First Amendment rights, and even controversial political speech is protected.
Schools may now crack down on protests out of fear, stifling free expression.
While schools can respond to misconduct, students still deserve due process—no matter their views. Should free speech be silenced by politics?
