College students who participate in walkouts could be suspended or expelled under a new measure passed by the Tennessee General Assembly on Monday.
...
HB 1476/ SB 1741 would require colleges and universities to sign the University of Chicago’s policy on freedom of speech — and prohibit administrations from uninviting a speaker based on their opposition to abortion or LGBTQ rights.
...
The act would bring disciplinary action against students and faculty members that who disrupt a guest speaker by protesting or staging a walkout. Under the proposal, student organizations could legally deny membership or leadership positions to other students if they disagree with their “lifestyle.”
It appears they are treating college students like children. Are they trying to change Tennessee colleges/universities to be like the Tennessee state house where progressives are not wanted?
