Quote from Yellowfin: They can't do any such thing. They are instead heavily pressuring the law not to pass because they are leftist authoritarian slimeballs.

Yellowfin, I agree with the latter part of your summation, but I would disagree somewhat with the first part. Legally they might not be able to cause you to not carry in class, but you might find your essays being graded on a whole new scale in their class. They ( the liberal left) have already usurped freedom of speech in their classrooms to the point that disagreeing too much could be detrimental to your academic health. Professors with tenure seem to believe they can do about anything they want in the classroom and not be called on the carpet for it. I believe the pressure would be there, if not overtly, then covertly.
