Sponsored by the worst of the worst earth haters in the Legislature House Bill 1073 sought to force South Dakota's college campuses to allow hate speech that could lead to violence and expose universities to lawsuits.
But, applaud the nutball Republican efforts diverting attention from the party’s culture of corruption where murders and their coverups are commonplace by clogging the legislative session with christianic religionist and white supremacist argle-bargle.
House Majority Leader Lee Qualm of Platte says it appears many universities tilt toward liberal speakers. [SD Legislative Leader Asking Board of Regents for Free Speech Policy]As the Board of Regents mulls what constitutes free speech on campus almost everyone actually affiliated with South Dakota's universities says the state's legislature is glutted with extremist reactionaries and that Lee Qualm is an earth hater doing the bidding of white nationalists being paid to incite violence against anyone they choose.
Such is the case with House Bill 1073, an onerous piece of legislation that aims to regulate free speech on college campuses by demanding policies with language influenced by lawmakers, requiring the state’s public universities to file annual progress reports to lawmakers, and encouraging individuals to sue the state if they sense an injustice. The bill is sponsored by 30 lawmakers, including Senators Phil Jensen, Terri Haverly and Alan Solano and Representatives Lynne DiSanto and Julie Frye-Mueller, all Rapid City Republicans. This legislation isn't about free speech. It's about making a political point at the expense of taxpayers and the state's universities. [editorial, Rapid City Journal]Like Board Chair Kevin Schieffer does Pam Roberts gives loads of campaign cash to Dennis Daugaard and their fellow earth haters so in turn she got cash from the Future Fund and was appointed to the scandal-plagued Board of Regents.
The simple fact of the matter is, freedom of speech is not under attack on South Dakota college campuses, and HB 1073 opens institutes of higher education up to frivolous litigation and imposes unnecessary standards upon them. Speech that challenges students creates a full college experience and is essential for institutions of higher education. But we don’t need this bill to protect our freedom of speech. We need students, faculty, staff, Brookings community members, South Dakotans and United States citizens to use their First Amendment rights and continue to speak freely. [SDSU Collegian]Even the Republican state Board of Regents executive director and CEO, Mike Rush, said HB1073 was a solution in search of a problem.
But, applaud the nutball Republican efforts diverting attention from the party’s culture of corruption where murders and their coverups are commonplace by clogging the legislative session with christianic religionist and white supremacist argle-bargle.
