I am legitimately shocked every time professors and students at a rough ridin' University try to stop someone from expressing their opinion (which appears to be shared by millions of people).  Ever-y time.

This is a great article on the subject:

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/07/opinion/were-all-fascists-now.html?smid=tw-share&referer=https://t.co/DAlpzEfIO0?amp=1

Quote
But it is also a concerted attempt to significantly redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech. By tossing people like Mary Beard and Christina Hoff Sommers into the slop bucket with the likes of Richard Spencer, they are attempting to place their reasonable ideas firmly outside the mainstream. They are trying to make criticism of identity politics, radical Islam and third-wave feminism, among various other subjects, verboten. For even the most minor transgressions, as in the case of Professor Beard, people are turned radioactive.

There are consequences to all this “fascism” — and not just the reputational damage to those who are smeared, though there is surely that.

The main effect is that these endless accusations of “fascism” or “misogyny” or “alt-right” dull the effects of the words themselves. As they are stripped of meaning, they strip us of our sharpness — of our ability to react forcefully to real fascists and misogynists or members of the alt-right.

asking a university to rescind an invitation to speak at a law school luncheon is not a violation of anyone's freedom of speech. smdh

It amuses me that people acting like fascists are so frequently accusing others of being fascist.

It's true. Also weird how often the supposedly liberal only tolerate one point of view.

Sounds like a pretty good choice to me. I think she's wrong about all of these things, but about half of the country think she's right, and college kids should be exposed to that.

this is interesting.

It's like terrorism/mass shooting media coverage in a way. Or maybe that's just how journalism has always been.

I liked how they repeatedly cited the same survey by referring to it many different ways so that it would appear the article wasp well researched. And then used that falsehood to support their non-sequiter conclusion.

 The problem is npt the student body at large, it is a narrow group of facsist leftists tgat are throwing a fit about any speech they disagree with and the college administrations are either giving in or supporting them.

"The squeeky wheel gets the grease". It's amazing how far these morons can miss the point.
