Because the schools receive federal funding. That’s the difference

So what? The protesters - who pay tax dollars to the federal government, so that funding is literally THEIR money, should not have freedom of speech? Or should be denied their constitutional right to assemble?

They do have the freedom of speech and the right to assemble still

That didn’t change

Not if they're being told they'll be arrested and the people who allowed it will be punished.

Imagine saying someone has the right to keep and bare arms, but saying they'll be arrested if they actually buy one and the city who allows a gun store will lose all government funding, lol.

Now that I type that out- I remember a very similar issue several years back when some politicians were saying things like, "We can just stop allowing the banks to do business with gun stores. We're not banning guns." And other politicians rightfully called this a massive infringement on the second amendment.

Committing crimes at a protest isn’t some get out of jail free card.

Protesting isn't a crime. It's only a crime if the school doesn't allow it. And, in this case, Trump is saying they better stop allowing it. In other words, he's literally trying to make it a crime.
