Citizen Engagement declares IN FAVOR of HF 115 but would like to see expulsion from the institution and employment ended on the first offense. Please advance the bill.

vote NO on HF 115. this is the latest in the legislatures attempts to attack immigrants, educational institutions, and challenging ideas. This is an attempt to play the president's song and dance about terrorism, targeting students that stand up for Palestine, academics working to understand the experiences of immigrants from countries the the president has decided are our enemies, and anyone looking to stand up to the destructive ideology that has taken hold in our state government.I am OPPOSED to HF 115, and I would like to see this committee taken on real and serious issues, instead of playing pathetic political games.
