A large chunk of the college students on some campuses have completely lost the ability to engage in Civil Debate and to practice Mutual Respect.

Berkley has been stupid for decades but that cancer has spread.

This is further from expressing freedom of speech and a lot closer to the militancy of fascists and communists (actual not theoretical) with a dash of anarchists.

If they did this in the society they hope to achieve (rather than the one that keeps them free) they'd be imprisoned or shot.

They are but the tip of the spear of Progressive politicians (my old school Dem is all but dead) , college campuses, and social manipulators.


Want a good read about college campuses? A couple chapters in Tom Nichol's: The Death of Expertise, are well worth reading.

I can make a compelling argument that there is no daylight between what these people stand for, and true fascism.

"Want a good read about college campuses?"

College is rapidly becoming intellectually subtractive. Give me someone who can fix my car over someone who majored in womens studies with a minor in transgender dance theory.
