Daniel is right: free speech should be protected. Campuses are becoming increasingly inhospitable to free speech. Opposing viewpoints (anything that doesn’t follow a hard-Left line) are stigmatized and demonized (not refuted). Speakers generally present only one point of view. But treason and sedition? Not protected speech. And it is quite likely that Daniel would say that AFDI, an entirely peaceful group that advocates nothing but the enforcement of existing laws, should be banned from campuses. But not the Islamic State.

“Tennessee lawmaker: ISIS should be allowed to recruit at colleges,” by Joel Ebert, The Tennessean, March 17, 2016 (thanks to Ken):

    Speaking on behalf of a bill centered around free speech, a Knoxville-based lawmaker on Wednesday said a terrorist organization should be allowed to recruit on college campuses in Tennessee.

    While presenting a billed dubbed the “Tennessee Student Free Speech Protection Act,” Rep. Martin Daniel, R-Knoxville, fielded a question from Rep. John DeBerry Jr., D-Memphis, about whether he believed ISIS should be able to stand in the middle of university campuses and “recruit for ISIS.”

    “Yes,” Daniel replied. “So long as it doesn’t disrupt the proceedings on that campus. Yes sir. They can recruit people for any other organization or any other cause. I think it’s just part of being exposed to differing viewpoints.”

    The remarks came after a debate about the bill, which Daniel said “would direct schools to observe freedom of speech on campus.”

    While introducing the legislation, Daniel said students’ free speech on Tennessee college campuses has been diminished in recent years because of unfair policies….

I'm sure, however, anyone who opposes the idea will be called an islamaphobe, a racist, and hate monger. :nometalk:

He was the sane one if I'm reading it correctly.

DeBerry and Daniel engaged in a brief discussion about the merits of the bill, which the Democrat challenged.

DeBerry argued that the world has changed from the days of the 1960s, which he said was an era of protest and time of change, while asking Daniel if he considered the fact that the world has changed since then.

“There are young people who are not ready yet — they're half-baked, half-cooked — who are recruited to work against their own parents, their own nation, and I would be concerned as a parent and as a citizen,” DeBerry said. “Free speech is one thing; being stupid is another."

   



Looks like the stupid one is Republican Daniel's.

Would he say the KKK and the American Nazi Party should be allowed to recruit on college campuses,and be protected by the police?

I,for one,can't wait to see the KKK and the Nazi's recruiting at traditional black colleges,like Morehouse.

You mistakenly looked up the guy questioning this. The guy who said they should be able to recruit in colleges is a white Republican.
