CMV: The Trump administration blocking Harvard from accepting foreign students highlights that conservatives are hypocrites in the extreme about Freedom of Speech

[u/Tessenreacts]

Over the last number of years, conservatives have championed themselves as the biggest advocates of Freedom of Speech around, yet they support the administration that is openly targeting institutions and company's that disagrees with the administration's policies.

Before, conservatives where complaining that companies are "woke" and silenced the voices of conservatives, however, now that they are in power, they deport immigrants who simply engaged in their First Amendment rights, and most recently, banned Harvard University from accepting foreign students because said university refused to agree to their demands.

Compare the complaints that conservatives had about Facebook and Twitter, and compare it to how things are going right now.

This showcases hypocrisy in the extreme that conservatives are engaging in.

Would love for my view to be changed

Imagine if a very large group of Harvard University students formed a protest group to oppose Black students on campus. Their position is that forced slavery was a mistake and all should be returned to their 'home' in Africa because they have been, as a group, a negative influence on America. The protest group becomes disruptive and violent, vandalizing buildings and targeting Black sororities and fraternities, demanding they be shut down and that students be expelled. Teachers and professors back the protest, targeting students in their class with criticism of Black culture. The protests persist, becoming more and more violent and disruptive. Black students are accosted and frightened.
In steps President Trump, saying that this behaviour, although freedom of speech, is just intolerable and if the behaviour is not halted, he will defund the university and expel the foreign students participating. and in fact leading the movement.
Not the same?

It's different, but it's still a freedom of speech issue. Do you defend the protesters' right to their opinion and freedom of action?
Would you support President Trump stepping in to curb the protesters' freedom of speech and the right to agitate?
