Hey Reason and radical Libertarians, seems like it is radical democrats who bring a gun to a free speech event.
RIP Charlie.
As Lenthall-Cleary puts it, “Republican students are still overall less interested in disruption, but when they are interested, they’re really interested.”
For the left it is more like shooting down.
Sure is easier than actually having to make cogent arguments, provide adequate and verifiable sources, and remain civil in a discussion or debate.
As an academic of some repute had noted years ago ( and whose name I don't quite recall in the moment ), "anyone can assert anything."
That alone NEVER makes it so.

The freedom to debate and discuss the merits of competing ideas does not, of course,
mean that individuals may say whatever they wish, wherever they wish. The University may
restrict expression that violates the law, that falsely defames a specific individual, that
constitutes a genuine threat or harassment, that unjustifiably invades substantial privacy
or confidentiality interests, or that is otherwise directly incompatible with the functioning
of the University. In addition, the University may reasonably regulate the time, place, and
manner of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt the ordinary activities of the
University.
Sounds good, the problem is that is not what they did.
We Could Return to Tolerance for Opposing Views
They morphed tolerance into we have to worship their ideas.
Huh. Reason used to be, well, reasonable. WTF happened to them?
This is the perfect time for a “both sides do it” article, Reason. Show me the college campuses where radical liberals have been prevented from speaking by conservative students.
The author sites ACTUAL events where leftists shut down speakers and equates that with a POLL where Republicans say they might do it also??? WTF?
FEEL FREE TO SHARE. WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF TIME!
We had a college student in our office. She was able to do her homework on line at breaks and lunch. I guarantee she learned little. I can’t believe a college education has included some real idiots. Students who shout down are not able to article a few thoughts for their argument.
