Are the Palestine protests happening on public college campuses protected speech?
Encampments prevent other students from using the space, cause disruptions to campus activities and create a public safety risk. So no, they aren’t protected speech. You also don’t have a First Amendment right to protest wherever, whenever, or as loud as you want. You do have a right to share controversial statements and signs. #FirstAmendment #freespeech #college #palestine #protest

"It's astounding and note the circularity in his argument," says economist, historian, and author Phil Magness. "Every solution is just reaffirmation of [his] premise. And what it basically means is the complete abolition of any sense of financial privacy, of really any aspect of free and open market exchange."
