Trinity College students say Connecticut university removed their US flags with Thin Blue Line and Gadsden symbol from housing for being 'offensive' - while BLM and LGBTQ flags were allowed to stay up
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trinity-college-students-respond-removal-blue-line-flag-blm-flags-some

Finn McCole and Lucas Turco had their US flag with the Gadsden symbol and their Blue Green Red Line flag removed from outside their dorm
An administrator came to remove the flags and the boys say they were told that some found their flags 'offensive'
McCole and Turco said they had hung the flags after seeing others hanging up LBGT, transgender, and Black Lives Matter flags
'We have no problem with any of those flags hanging,' Turco said. 'Everyone should be able to put their flags up'
The dean apologized to them and the school has sent an email out saying they 'will work harder' to consistently apply the rule
The boys are asking that the policy be 'applied to all parties equally'

Sue them. They only understand lawsuits and violence. Violence isn't an option so speak the other language.

Why would anyone conservative go to those schools, or pay for their kids to go there?

To what extent does that come with strings attached?

More inclusiveness, but only if you agree with them.

If they are getting public money they may fall under 1A rules. Censoring one point of view while allowing the opposite view could be a problem. They could ban both sides but not just the conservatives.

IANAL but that is my understanding.

Grant funding (of which colleges tend to get) doesn't come with an umbrella of restrictions outside of the grant acceptance.

If they are being subsidized by a public entity for day to day operations and it's built into their budget, then you'd have a strong argument.

Nope there's federal case law that holds that receipt of any federal monies such as tuition grants federal protections.

When a University states that they are dedicated to Diversity and Inclusion, ask them how many Republicans are in their sociology department.

Because those schools desperately need those coservative kids, and the educational reputation of some of those institutions can be of great benefit to the future careers of said kids.

Tucker Carlson went there.
I bet his alumni mailers and donation soliciting phone calls are interesting.
