Totally on board with that, though that's much different from what Trump is actually advocating.
It is different, and beyond that crosses a line.
For all the howling about not being censored, about information not being controlled, not only would this represent an illegal seizure of assets, but a lockdown on what is taught.
The whole purpose of being at university was to learn how to research in a meaningful and intelligent way to find answers, at least when and where I went.
That requires a variety of viewpoints, debate and discussion, not marching in lockstep.
Freedom of speech MUST include that which we find to be incorrect, or those arguments cannot be made.
Discovery of new scientific concepts, similarly, requires the examination of all, from fundamental principles to cutting edge theories, and the failure to question the axioms is as bad as cherry picking evidence in supporting a theory.
We had a die hard Communist among the students we knew. Card Carrying type who could recite all that proletariat vs the bourgeois stuff, but could not put a single concept in his own words. FAIL!
Indoctrinated, but not educated, and his stuff didn't find many willing ears.
But we were exposed to it, to the mindset, to the opportunity to discern between educated support for a theory and total indoctrination, and that made it interesting until that nonsense became tedious. Nonetheless,he had his opportunity to make his case.
Without that exchange, that discourse, education will be back to memorizing by rote, as much indoctrination as our token Communist displayed.
I want the students of tomorrow to be able to tell me, in their own words, why things work or do not, without being the square peg hammered through some round die.
