Winning: Trump Admin Already Moving on Biden Censorship Initiatives Exposed by MRC

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s admin­is­tra­tion has tak­en action on two Biden-era ini­tia­tives revealed by MRC Free Speech Amer­i­ca to have been tar­get­ing Amer­i­cans’ con­sti­tu­tion­al­ly pro­tect­ed speech.

MRC Free Speech Amer­i­ca released a study on March 13 expos­ing 57 Biden admin­is­tra­tion cen­sor­ship ini­tia­tives. Under the Biden admin­is­tra­tion, the Secu­ri­ties and Exchange Com­mis­sion (SEC) issued a com­pelled speech rule requir­ing com­pa­nies to sup­press employ­ees’ speech that ran afoul of left­ist fear­mon­ger­ing about cli­mate change (Ini­tia­tive #45). The Biden Insti­tute of Muse­um and Library Ser­vices (IMLS), fur­ther­more, award­ed a grant to the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wash­ing­ton to cre­ate vir­tu­al “escape rooms” to push cen­sor­ship (Ini­tia­tive #17). 

But no more. On March 14, Trump signed an exec­u­tive order tak­ing an ax to the IMLS work­force, and on March 28, Trump’s SEC vot­ed to stop defend­ing the Biden-era cli­mate change dis­clo­sure rule.
