You really do have to grant people the opportunity prove they've changed. Unfortunately ol' Wendy there has not come full circle to a correct and proper view of free speech ~ she's still stuck in the Marxist idea that you have to satisfy Hegelian norms by creating a thesis/antithesis ~ that's why she starts her examples of school administrators squelching free speech with those that seem to her to be "conservative", and only then moving on to those who acted on behalf of "progressives".

Given time we can drag her out of this nonsense ~ after all, part of free speech is the idea that not all speech is equal, nor are there always or only two sides. Sometimes there really is only one side (how high is up?), and sometimes there are so many different opinions there are no sides at all.

At the moment we have to be satisfied with her discovery that the ACLU was something you couldn't really differentiate from a Stalinist regime ~ and for her that's been a really big journey.

You may wish to reread everything you've just uttered and see the patronizing, holier-than-thou, God-I'm- wonderful-and-you-are-stupid example you have set so apparently with no effort at all.

Hegel? Mix him in with rule-based tautology and you have insufferable overbearance.

Bet no one has ever invited you to go icefishing.
