If US campuses can’t protect free speech, they need new management

[SYTFE]

I agree completely with the sentiments of this article. Universities are supposed to be institutions that offer and value diverse thoughts and opinions. Instead, what we've seen over the last several years are weak-kneed administrators acquiescing to the demands of sniveling little brats who can't handle hearing an idea they don't approve of. Rather than fostering an environment where diverse discussion can take place, most of our universities have been hijacked by extreme left wing administrators, faculties, and students who have embraced fascism and are engaging in modern day Nazi book burnings. If the people in charge won't stop this attack on free speech then it's time to start replacing them, by force, if necessary, particularly at those which are taxpayer funded.

There's a difference between free speech and hate-speech/inciting violence. Universities should be able to host whomever they want.

Does Coulter engage in hate speech and incite violence? I've never heard her do that.
And aren't there already laws against that?

Yes, she does. She was even fired from the National Review for hate-speech. She also engages in plagiarism, defamation, anti-semitism, among other things. She's absolute trash.

If hearing an opposing POV incites one to violence, what does this say about this person?

Doesn't matter...Universities are a place for kids to go and learn. Universities should not be agreeing to host speakers who spew hate, racism, and fear.

Cowards.
.

I'm sorry. College is expensive. I have a kid who is racially mixed, I'm not spending all that in tuition money for people to let some a**hole talk to my kids classmates about why he should be hated for his skin color. Fuck off.

My wife and I are racially mixed and (obviously) so are our kids.

None of us are afraid of words.

We're not afraid of our kids hearing something that challenges them.

We know how lucky we are to live in this country.

What are you afraid of? Don't think your kids can handle it? Have you failed them as a parent?
.

No. My kid can handle anything. I'm worried about other kids. Kids raised by trump supporters, by people that taught them it is okay to discriminate. I am worried about the gullible and easily impressed. I am worried about what values Universities are impressing with their far right speakers.
My worries are valid as hate crimes have been on the rise since trump took office. A whole slew of racists and home grown terrorists have been emboldened by this election. I want them back under their rocks.
What I don't want is some screwed up white kid to bring a gun in the cafeteria and aim it at the brownest skin he sees because Milo told him it was cool.

Part of the reason he won, part of the reason they're emboldened, is because of things like this. They're sick of it, and they've had it, and now they're fighting back.

I want the crazies and the bigots to be heard, loud and clear. Shine the biggest light we can on them. Let them expose themselves.

Shutting them down only makes them more dangerous. If your speech were shut down, would you lay down and take it?

Judge to Trump: No protection for speech inciting violence

that is only start more violence. wow, I can't wait for that to happen.

How would this lawsuit "start more violence?"

because the folks at the rallies will just take them out themselves rather than wait for the security. It's the problem with you asshats, you don't get it ever.

"just take them out themselves" amounts to assault in this case. Trump has toed the line several times with his fulgur speech. There was a rally in N carolina (I think) where he was almost sued for the same thing. Trump has always been trumps worst enemy.

Why isn't that an option for you or anyone? WTF

Like i said a min ago, I did fuck up and think this was the milo thread.. but I know the issue with Milo is that hes a blatant racist... Wasn't coultur canceled because of security concerns?

Aren't there already laws about such conduct?

 

[Auld Phart]

Coulter holds a Juris Doctorate you fool.

So, she's going to be giving a speech about law?

She usually touches on aspects of the law and how they pertain to current events. What is your point?

You're not very good at this; you're all over the map.

Just trying to follow along with your monkey on crack train of thought.

Seems to me that Ann is only actually qualified to "educate" about the law. I've noticed she never says a damn thing about it, usually preferring to opine about how bad "libruls" are.

Are you starting to get this yet? Ann doesn't "educate." She opines. Period. You know what they say about opinions, right?

What makes her opinion worth so much? Because you agree with it?

Normal people learn by listening to what others have to say. The 'others' don't have to be teachers for the listener to learn something.

IF she were providing educational content, students would gain credits for attending. Since they aren't, it's just entertainment. Like going to a circus to watch a clown perform.

Since they aren't, it's just entertainment. Like going to a circus to watch a clown perform.

Like when Obama, the Clintons, the Bushes, etc give speeches at colleges?

not earning any credits, so it's just watching the clowns at the circus.

and who decides which is free, and which is hate speech?

You?

The local DNC Elector?

The person that takes a month off before election to canvass for his candidate?

Sounds like you only want your version of 'free speech' on campus.

The great thing is, it is so common sense, that any objective, intelligent group of adults can asses a person's words and decide.

But only if they are allowed to hear them.
