I think the bigger point is, there are limits. That’s reality.


Undesirable speech is regularly squelched. Any negative rhetoric against groups considered “oppressed” in this simplistic worldview is prohibited. The same against “oppresssor” groups - not so much.

The problem is the free speech emphasis they claimed in the genocide question is a fiction that does not exist on any of their campuses, which was created to equivocate, and in essence protect, the “oppressed groups” giving those evil “oppressors” their just deserts.

I like RML’s aspirational ideas about free speech on campuses. I actually think that was close to reality in my day, and I hope it will be again. But it isn’t now.
