Let me get this straight.. Tennessee GOP Joe Hensley introduced a freedom of speech on college campus bill named after a conservative, loudmouth, militantesque, flamboyant gay man. No offense to MILO, I do like your stuff and you’re pushing the envelope of the 1st Amendment, but the GOP naming the bill after you breaks the stereotypical mold of the the anti-gay GOP.
Then again, there isn’t a politician out there who doesn’t try to grab hold of the latest fad/event and use it towards their own purpose
I can only see a future spectacular explosion when some liberal, loudmouth, militantesque, flamboyant gay man does the same. – PB/TK
‘MILO Bill’ Filed in Tennessee to Ensure Freedom of Speech on College Campuses – 9 Feb 2017
A Tennessee bill designed to protect freedom of speech on college campuses, known as “The MILO Bill,” was filed today with a press conference held afterward.
The press conference was held by Martin Daniels, the representative for Tennessee’s 18th district. Senator Joey Hensley was also present at the meeting, explaining the need for the bill, titled, “Tennessee Freedom of Speech on College Campus Bill,” and the desired outcome of the legislation.
“We just want to ensure that our public universities give all students the right to free expression,” said Senator Hensley. “Too many times we’ve seen classrooms where the professor doesn’t want to hear both sides of an issue, we’ve heard stories from many students that, honestly, are on the conservative side that have those issues stifled in the classroom. We just want to ensure our public universities allow all types of speech.”
