    What’s an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

    Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn’t control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

      An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

      He doesn’t give a shit about the speech. It’s the schools and universities he wants to harm. Even if it’s just a matter of disrupting them through legal overwhelm.
