A Democrat U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner made a rambling argument suggesting that certain speech should be outlawed on college campuses.
According to The Daily Caller, Michael Yaki, also a former senior adviser to Nancy Pelosi (shocking), made his comments during a briefing last week.
The civil rights commissioner said he favors outlawing speech that would be grossly unpopular, such as “a slave auction at a fraternity engagement” or a celebration of Latino culture that involves “making everyone dress as janitors and mop floors.”
Are parties like that such a big problem on campuses? (No.) On occasion, a poorly-thought-out themed event will occur, but isn’t that the perfect opportunity for students to learn about what is socially acceptable through peer pressure?
Yaki’s reasoning for wishing to limit First Amendment protections on campus is that there’s a large group of people whose brains have not yet fully developed living in a “geographically compact” area and they need to create a “campus atmosphere” (read: confirmity of thought).
Unfortunately, college campuses are not known for allowing free speech or free thought. Conservative speakers are routinely harassed, protested against, or even prohibited from speaking on college campuses. A study showed that over 70 percent of campuses already have regulations limiting free speech.
A college education should include exposure to different ideas and theories and the development of critical thinking skills, which is possibly what this commissioner is afraid of.
Another braindead, commie lib loon requesting that the Bill of Rights be denied to Americans. This bass turd should be arrested.
Would he also agree that since their minds aren’t fully formed, that the voting age should be raised to 40?
Don’t let them talk, but Hey College grads, Vote Democrat you idiots!
Yakoff is telling students they are stupid, and where did they learn to be stupid? academia of coarse! It was ok for Pelosi in her time to voice her opinion becuase it was “thier right” but now we want to take it away because we made you to stupid to understand what it is. Idiots on parade
And you are one of them, being unable to comprehend the Constitution.
They can’t resist taking potshots at the Constitution. How shallow and superficial those founders were, compared to the unremitting genius of this intellectual class.
Dont let the other side point out our lies!!!!!!!!
idiots in government
And disagreeing with the political orthodoxy will mean no degree will be given. It is happening already. The University of Minnesota School of Education has stated that any student who believes that an inner city youth can indeed be academically successful will not be allowed to graduate.

Yaki’s mind has never developed and it never will.

…. which begs the ultimate “D’oh” question: So why allow them to vote ?

I'd settle for 30, with a minimum age to hold office at 40.
it already is limited; try arguing a conservative point of view in a college and see what happens....
i did this in 1984 when a communications professor railed against Reagan getting re-elected as i stood up and asked “What would Mondale do for the country? he’s part of the Carter administration”...
rest assured I paid for my relevant question asked in the spirit of the First Amendment with a full letter grade...
Liberal democrats reasoning is like a jihadist.
WHen the local chapter of the Latin Kings crashes the party the "problem" will take care of itself.
Do these limits apply to the professors too?
where can i purchase that bumper sticker?? i just googled it but found nothing...
