Dem-Controlled Senate Panel Kills Bill Aiming To Ban Student Groups Who Support ‘Terrorist Activities’

A Democrat-controlled panel in the Virginia Senate struck down a bill aimed at quelling student organizations that support “terrorist activities.”

Legislators killed the GOP-backed bill Monday after speakers raised concerns about free speech for students supporting Palestinians, though a companion bill is in the Virginia House, the Virginia Mercury reported. The Virginia legislation, focused on campus activism, reflects a broader policy push by conservatives and members of Congress to quell the radical anti-Israel movement.

“I think what we’re trying to do is make sure that our learning environments are places to learn and not to have fear be a part of that,” Republican State Sen. Bill Stanley, who introduced the bill, said in the local paper. “It does not shut down discourse or dialogue.”

Stanley’s Senate Bill 1284 bans access to public college campuses for terrorist groups, those providing “funds or other material support or resources” to such groups and those who “support” them or “attempts to solicit” others to support them.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Yes, these Future Terrorists of America have God-given rights of free thought and free speech.  However, they do not have God-given rights to public college admission nor public college tuition assistance.

If they are in the US on student visas, the US Government has every right to revoke it for supporting terrorist organizations.

Since Hamas seems to have unlimited funds for rockets and tunnels, maybe they also offer scholarships at the University of Gaza.  I believe their suicide bomber team nickname is the 'Rocket Launchers of Peace and Tolerance'.

I don't worry about this one as the feds will simply nullify their visas making them illegals to be rounded up
