Texas governor signs sweeping new law protecting free speech on college campuses
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday signed a sweeping new law that aims to protect free speech on college campuses across the Lone Star state.
“Some colleges are banning free speech on college campuses,” the governor said in a video released on Twitter on Sunday as he signed the bill. “Well, no more. Because I am about to sign a law that protects free speech on college campuses in Texas.”
“Shouldn’t have to do it. First Amendment guarantees it,” he added. “Now, it’s law in Texas.”

If the law isn’t distinguishing between state universities and private universities (the article is unclear) then it’s prima facie unconstitutional.
