From the earlier column: "WSU President V. Lane Rollins later defended the hecklers, telling the campus student newspaper they "exercised their right of free speech in a very responsible manner by letting the writer and players know exactly how they felt."

So shouting someone down is now officially an exercise in free speech?

Student playwright Chris Lee warned attendees before his production was staged on campus that it would likely “offend everybody” and indeed some Mormon students who paid their own way to see the play silently protested its content.

Savvy communistic directed ploy to say the least.

"Tyranny of Liberal Academia" ping list:

There is more to this one than just the initial story. Open the main article and read down to the part about "disposition standards"

Some rather interesting additional tactics being applied to grading standards.
