I was trying to remember where Mario savio and the Free Speech Movement started; oh well, it’ll come to me.

This I do know:
A Memorial Lecture Fund was set up to honor Mario Savio upon his death. The MSMLF hosts an annual fall lecture on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Past lecturers include Howard Zinn, Winona LaDuke, Lani Guinier, Barbara Ehrenreich, Arlie Russell Hochschild, Cornel West, Christopher Hitchens, Adam Hochschild, Amy Goodman, Molly Ivins, Jeff Chang, Tom Hayden, Angela Davis, Seymour Hersh, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Naomi Klein, Elizabeth Warren, Robert Reich, and Van Jones.

Isn’t that special? Famous far-leftists are fine (except for Seymour Hersh who’s been kinda evenhanded); but harmless, tasteful, tall, blonde, attractive, little Ann Coulter triggers them? On what planet?

It was never about free speech. It was all about moving the leftist agenda forward. They always intended to suppress all speech they disagree with.

These are typical leftist, statist, tactics. The Antifa are Fascists in their actions. They are demonstrating that they unwilling to accept democracy and a limited government.

I was a high school senior in 1965, planning to become an architect, and there were three accredited architecture schools in California: USC, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Cal Berkeley (Stanford's wasn't accredited). I had a full-ride State Scholarship in my pocket, so SC's tuition was no problem; CP SLO was unattractive to an LA city-boy; and it looked like Governor Reagan was about to shut Berkeley down.

FIGHT ON!

One of my professors in law school was the attorney for Mario Savio and the Free Speech Movement. Very much a liberal, but someone I would call an honest liberal. He was very willing to engage in a civil discussion with everyone and to acknowledge when he thought philosophical opponents made valid points. Actually one of my favorite professors, I had a lot of respect for him although I was pretty conservative even back then. As a mark of his honesty, he actually came out in favor of Milo Yiannopoulis speaking at Berkeley and said that as a public university the university was obligated to let him speak under the First Amendment and should provide an equal forum for all speakers, left and right.
