Sorry snowflakes! Brave soldiers gave their lives so you and I can have free speech. You’re not going to take it away from anyone.
We’ve always been at war with EastAsia
They use free speech to speak against free speech.

This argument, if one can dignify this mess of ambiguity with that term, boils down to "culture trumps the Constitution". In fact, it does not.
Princeton University should be stripped of its academic accreditation. A Princeton diploma should be worth no more than used toilet paper from a diarrhetic ward.
If only there were an entity that would shut them down........
RICH with irony!
Founded in 1746, 41 years before the US Constitution was law. That could have some bearing on the free speech issue...other than Princeton's "In service for Humanity"...as long as you agree with them............
Princeton University has declared itself an enemy of freedom.
When the accounting comes they will be remembered.
“Princeton holds ‘F%*# Free Speech’ event for Constitution Day”
Arrest those at Princeton who dared to even say this...since they hate freedom of speech. F**k subversives.

John Witherspoon (February 5, 1722 – November 10, 1794) was a Scottish-American Presbyterian minister and a Founding Father of the United States.[1] Witherspoon embraced the concepts of Scottish Common Sense Realism, and while president of the College of New Jersey (1768–94; now Princeton University), became an influential figure in the development of the United States’ national character. Politically active, Witherspoon was a delegate from New Jersey to the Second Continental Congress and a signatory to the July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independence. He was the only active clergyman and the only college president to sign the Declaration.[2] Later, he signed the Articles of Confederation and supported ratification of the Constitution. In 1789 he was Convening Moderator of the First General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.
““For me it seems so context-based. Culture is a wonderful thing because it makes us feel free even when we’re not actually free, right? There’s no such thing as uncoerced free will. We learn to desire the things that we’re taught from an early age, that we’re acculturated to,” she continued. “My sense is that we’re always adjusting our interpretation of that based upon our own experiences. So I don’t know, when we talk about natural rights, I’m not sure if they’re natural rights or if they’re just our illusion of natural rights because we’ve grown up believing it—because it’s our ‘common sense.’”
Why unadulterated BS!
This professor needs to be sacked - she’s an idiot and doesn’t understand the concept of objectively established rights (thinking they’re only “cultural” as she’s A Obviously an atheist (and incapable of thinking there’s something better than herself) B a Marxist (because she thinks culture determines all values so the state is all and all is the state)
Unlike her idiotic beliefs - I have no problem with her thinking them or pontificating on them. But, to use her own definitions, I think she should be silenced when it comes to stating her opinions are professional or authoritative.
As much as I think they should take their own advice and shut up, I appreciate seeing people use their Constitutional freedoms of speech and assembly.
Hopefully it’s all being recorded and a potential employer in the future will be able to appreciate learning about their use of the 1st amendment to criticise the 1st amendment.
How appropriate for Princeton... which brought us progressivism via Woodrow Wilson.
Gradually local and state governments, schools, colleges, entertainers and mega-industries are aligning with each other against US citzens and the US Constitution.
U.S. Citizens need to go to school on these events.
Let them express their hatred in public.
All I ask, is that the public pay attention and realize the true ramifications of what these people advocate for.
We need to exercise our free speech even more loudly than they do.
When Tamika the debt collector form the DOE calls them after graduation, we’re going to see who gets forced to ZIP IT!
This was mentioned while I was attending the Cato Institute’s Constitution Day Symposium. What a difference.
How insanely dumb!
