Did you know the Minnesota State Board of Trustees requires each student who attends a state university to pay a mandatory fee each semester? Nearly $900,000 is collected from students each year. Instead of investing that money in programs that improve student life, the government funnels it to a political advocacy nonprofit called Students United. Students United then uses your dollars to promote woke agendas and even racist ideologies on behalf of organizations like Black Lives Matter.
This forced fee is not only wrong — it's unconstitutional.
The First Amendment protects your right to say what you want to say—and to not say what you don’t want to say. It also protects your right to choose whether to pay for someone else’s speech—which means it protects you against being forced to pay for an organization to engage in speech you disagree with. So when the Minnesota State system forces you to pay for Students United’s activism, it violates your First Amendment rights.
