When Powers argued that speech should be protected because by itself it is never dangerous, Kohn countered by saying Powers failed to recognize her white privilege. Speech that seems harmless to middle or upper-class whites, she said, could be deeply threatening to poor and non-white communities. If somebody claims to feel certain speech is unsafe, Kohn said, they should be believed.
"Feelings are valid," she said, according to Stroup. "I'm never going to argue with people's feelings." Kohn also said it's a good thing if conservatives feel unable to express their views for fear of encountering hostility from their peers or professors.

“Kind of odd for a man to be named Sally.”
Leave him alone! He’s been picked on all his life, like his brother Sue.
A boy named Sally.
haha. YES!
One problem with Ms Kohns argument is this imo. Anti-constitutional republic university professors are probably indoctrinating students to react to words and terms used by conservatives instead of actually considering what conservatives are saying.
For example, I wouldnt be surprised FLOTUS was indoctrinated to blindly hate America at Harvard Law School.
Michelle Obama: America is Just Downright Mean
I wonder how much of Ms Kohn's statement, if any, was a repeat of what she may have heard from an activist professor?
Good it will be easier to convict her as a subversive and a traitor.
Isn’t this the girl that loked like jerry on seinfeld?
what is his problem?
I’m sure old Sal feels perfectly comfortable walking into a bull-dyke bar.
Conservatives should see this as a hint that they shouldn’t wimp out.
It bugs me to see them going, well, snowflakey along with “liberals.” They know what they are looking at, but they should also know what Power to embrace, and have no excuse for wallowing in woe-is-me.
As long as I don’t have to make a favorable comment to someone who expresses an opinion I disagree with, I don’t care what they say-they are entitled to an opinion, so let them rattle on. If they want to try to force me to go along, then I’m afraid it is a very different story...
In my opinion, she is emotionally unstable-anyone who thinks that two homosexuals raising a kid is healthy or normal is f’ed up from the gitgo-her children will likely need psychotherapy before their 18th birthdays...
Harvard being amoral if not immoral, they would make it easier for Michelle to set her moral compass wherever she jolly wanted it to be set.
Kids who end up rebelling against a screwed up upbringing like that sometimes end up being the most amazing witnesses.

I’ve hated and discounted them since 2003 when they put their lips to the ass of Saddam Hussein in order to air from Baghdad and get that exclusive interview while other organizations like Fox accepted banishment in lieu of having to spout Saddam’s propaganda.
Speech can only harm an unbalanced mind.
I was thinking the same thing. I’d love to see her wander around some of these “poorer neighborhoods” she mentions. She would get a real education on just who is doing the threatening.
Wow, I am so old that I remember a time when we lived under a constitution.
Yea, that freedom of speech thing is really troublesome when someone has an opposing point of view.
That is another reason why we must not allow any more stifling of free speech-by anyone, ever...
“This is essentially fascism”
Nailed it! And Sally the faggie fascist is comfortable with that, the Nazi bitch!
Well, “we” know that the first amendment doesn’t cover private speech, so it can’t prevent censorship by other authorities, but the last thing we need is federal promotion of speech codes.
They’ve really managed to keep us quiet for the last 8 years, but maybe that’s about to change. I would not feel so completely violated by this government if I had been part of a ‘loyal opposition’, but now we realize that the so-called opposition has been anything but. Now that we have that clarity, things may be able to change.
