Arizona rep. wants to ban social justice events on college campuses

[Morphine Prince 109,648]

A conservative Arizona lawmaker, Rep. Bob Thorpe, is proposing a far-reaching law in Arizona, House Bill 2120, banning virtually every college event, activity or course which discusses social justice, skin privilege, or racial equality. Violating the law would allow the state of Arizona to levy multimillion-dollar fines and penalties against universities — removing at least 10% of their state aid.

This is no joke. Arizona already passed a law targeting ethnic studies in the state. They are fulling willing and able to pass this bill as well.

Isn't this proposed bill in direct conflict with the First Amendment though?

 fighting the hand that feeds you. These kind of social justice events (tho I do respect them personally) only add to R's popularity.

That would also take out religion, gun rights, abortion protests, etc. They lose too...

Mess  

Is there a rationale other than "because they promote equality and that makes it harder for us to pass legislation that discriminates against people?"  Or is it really that transparent. People disgust me.

Wait... aren't they the first one crying when "safe space" events apparently hinder freedom of speech?
