SB4 limits the ability of students to practice free speech on campus.
The Florida State House of Representatives failed to pass SB4 by on March 5, 2018 by a vote of 37 to 75. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill contains a shameful erosion of principles of free expression by way of eroding the protection of free speech on campus. Critically the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affords the people the right to assembly and the right to speak freely. The people must resist efforts toward abridgment of the freedom of speech, a foundational right upon which our many other rights depend.
