Since Voting is the ultimate example of Free Speech, I guess the Rat is recommending that 18-20 Year Olds shouldn’t be able to Vote.

I’m all for it, unless those same 18-20 Year Olds are serving in the Military.

Just think, without that Voting Block, Obama would still be Community Organizing back in Chicago.

They think 10 year olds are mature enough for sex but not to think for themselves

Yaki’s a wacky Nanzi lackey.
And a cheater, apparently.
He’s a real Obamanite.

>The U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner claims campus speech codes need to be tightened as college students are still “developing” and cannot yet handle certain information.

So 18 to 25 year old young adults can’t handle their 1st Amendment right yet they can vote? Astounding.

“Certain factors in how the juvenile or adolescent or young adult brain processes information is vastly different from the way that we adults do,” Yaki said according to a transcript from Eugene Volokh, a law professor and publisher of the blog, The Volokh Conspiracy, who also testified at the briefing. “So when we sit back and talk about what is right or wrong in terms of First Amendment jurisprudence from a reasonable person’s standpoint, we are really not looking into the same referential viewpoint of these people, of an adolescent or young adult, including those in universities.”

Ladies and gentlemen, Liberal Condescension at it’s best/worst...

Next thing it will Liberals telling black people they are not developed enough to own guns to protect themselves, so we need to ban gun ownership for their own good... wait they already do that in Chicago...

Of Course when you can stay on your Parent’s health plan till you are in your late 20’s, the left seems to be the party of ENFORCING arrested development because they need Naive Dupes to vote for them, so they need to keep people infantile and on the “teat” both monetarily and informationally....

The article mentions Greg Lukianoff and his organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).

I would strongly recommend, in this regard, Mr. Lukianoff's book, Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate.

What makes this book all the more impactful is the fact that it was authored, not by a conservative or a Republican, but by a self-described liberal Democrat.

Then they’re not “developed” enough to vote.

I’m pretty sure college kids are evolved enough for free speech , but I am absolutely certain a sizable percentage of the faculty and administrative staffs of most of our Universities are not evolved enough for free speech

How would Yaki enforce such a speech code? There would be campus riots of a ferocity not seen since Vietnam with Obama being burned in effigy.

But they are smart enough to vote multiple times (at home and school) for Democrats, right?

Perhaps we should take the vote away from all who are not developed.

Then raise the voting age to 21 seeing as most of these idiots have no clue about taxes, life or paying their way in the real world.

The Berkeley Free Speech Movement began in Fall 1964 on the U of CA campus. Mario Savio and other student activists protested UC-Berkeley’s rules prohibiting their distribution of information and collecting donations for the civil rights movement.

The pleebs simply can’t handle freedom, that is why we need a ruling class to lord over us.
