Opening salvo.
Let’s see this legal position enforced at Harvard and Berkeley.
Many universities have morphed from institutes of higher learning to propaganda mills for the left.
But there are still many people in those institutions who mightily resent what is happening. Even 25 to 30 years ago, I heard professors complaining that nutsy ideas - like ‘animal rights’ - were ruining science.
The people who have been keeping their heads down just need a nudge, some encouragement, and assurance that they are not alone. And as someone said further up on the thread, there is usefulness in ‘starting small’.
Everything has to start somewhere.
When I was attending college in the late sixties (I know that puts me in the old fart category) the liberal arts professor (the one teaching Western Civilizations) used to snort and snicker when he talked about the Christian religion influence during the older historical periods but never really criticized it.
I went to university in 1971. It was a bastion of freedom of speech, and even though it was mostly leftist free speech - and there was a lot of leftist indoctrination going on in classes - there was no effort that I perceived to squelch conservative freedom of speech. There were even ‘Jesus Freaks’ free to roam and preach.
The 1960s and 1970s campuses look like absolute Freedom, when compared with those of today. And i think that tells us a lot about the hypocrisy of Leftists. They get their feet in the door, build up their numbers, and then use their numbers to turn the tables and degrade everything to their ‘agendae’.
