SB 1711 by Perry: Expanding Free Speech Protections in Higher Education
PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 1054
SB 1711 seeks to further protect freedom of speech and religious liberty for students and student organizations at public universities. When institutions are funded by tax dollars, there is no place for speech suppression. This bill protects students from universities trying to silence students based on religious or political ideology. For this reason, TFR supports SB 1711.
