Student demands for censorship get a lot of coverage. Spiked Online’s Free Speech University Rankings, now in its third annual edition, argues that there is a “crisis of free speech on campus”.
By analysing the censorious policies and actions that have taken place on British campuses, Spiked concluded that 63.5 per cent of universities actively censor speech and 30.5 per cent stifle speech through excessive regulation. You can barely go a few days without encountering a new op-ed covering censorship on campus.

Even at that early age, many of us were observant enough to see the stupidity and hypocrisy of the “student governments” and who comprised them
They make themselves easy to dislike and oppose
When a group comes off as emotionally crippled, pathetic, social misfits, even some borderline emotionally crippled, pathetic social misfits will be turned off at the thought that they are looked at this way...
NO NEW Culture of DemOCrats.
Agreed. I can remember when I was a university student back in the early 1990s, Reform Party of Canada leader Preston Manning came to Kingston, Ontario twice to speak and introduce his Western grassroots conservatism to Eastern Canadian voters. Well, some of the students would not have any of that and yelled and shouted during the first time he came and disrupted the whole thing. The same thing took place a little over a year later, and this time a few students took to putting “My Canada includes Quebec” bumper stickers on their jackets and standing in front of the stage where Manning was speaking, among other things they did to be a pain in the ass.
The main thing I remember in all of this was how many of the locals were made upset by the students’ behaviour in both cases. I recall one couple saying they may have been more likely to vote for the socialist NDP but were still curious about what Manning had to say about the issues and his ideas and they were among those made upset by the students acting out the way they did. But in the world of these students back then (and probably for many nowadays), that sort of thing would never figure in, eh?
In the past, I would hear of colleges in areas like Pakistan or Yemen causing high level riots and putting policemen in the hospital or even the grave. Now that chaos is tolerated, even encouraged here in the United States. The School Administrators who allow it without expelling the rioters and the so called Professors who fan the flames should be held just as accountable.
The only spark of hope is knowing some students are so repulsed by such barbarism and zombie behavior, that they begin to consider and even embrace the other side of the argument.
I’m just waiting for some brave filmmakers or script writers to create a few parody programs showing just how ridiculous the Snowflake Wave looks to normal Americans.
There is good material by the ton!
The first step in ending the culture of the Left is getting a job.
Neoantidisestablishmentarianists?
When you make students confess to being beneficiaries of “White Privilege”, you are getting close to the level of the (Chinese) Cultural Revolution, where teachers were dragged out, forced to ‘confess’, wear a big ‘dunce cap’, be restrained, and then have their student throw rocks at them until they were dead.
The roles are different now...but whites in this country are not like native Swedes, we will FIGHT BACK, and that started with Trump and will continue, until the left is FINISHED as a major political force.
