….Requiring a group to host a speaker they oppose is textbook compelled speech — and FIRE will fight it every step of the way.

Here:

On February 25, 2026, Catholic University denied student organization Students Supporting Israel’s request to host an event with Congressman Randy Fine about the rise in antisemitism because the event lacked “speakers representing both sides of this issue.” 

I imagine this restriction only applies to certain events. Banning pro-Palestinian events because they have no pro-Israel speakers? Unlikely. Catholic events because they don’t include people pointing out the illiberality and absurdities in the Catholic world view? Probably not.
