College Professor Wants to Limit Free Speech on Campus — for One Side
PJMedia ^ | 8/25/17

Earlier this week in the Washington Post, Skidmore College professor Jennifer Delton wrote an opinion piece in which she challenged university administrators to confront the notion of free speech on campuses because the alt-right engages in "weaponizing the concept of free speech." She argues that conservatives on campus have led to the anger-tinged tactics of the alt-right, while ignoring the fact that the left has its share of violent actors who take free speech to its extreme just as often.

Of course. Free speech now means silencing dissent. Freedom is slavery.

I thought Skidmore College was the name of a fake college in some coming-of-age movie.

Interesting, isn’t how, how the so-called “media” which always bitches about its “First Amendment rights” has NO problem giving a forum to some idiot who wants to deny those rights to everybody else

“White Nationalists” have EVERY BIT of FA protection, in fact, MORE than those who would DENY those rights.

And every bit as much as the BLACK NATIONALISTS the “media” pretends to ignore.

See the murdered Dallas cops, e.g.

Every day they get more and more insane. How much longer before they start pushing NAMBLA and pedo rights? Please please do, and while they are at it, they can endorse the next Democrap candidate for POTUS “Pedo rights now and we endorse Elizabeth Warren”. Never in my life have I ever seen the left work so hard to all but guarantee another Democrat is never elected again.

She needs to be reported to:

http://www.professorwatchlist.org/index.php/about-us

Professor Watchlist is a project of Turning Point USA.

The mission of Professor Watchlist is to expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.

This website is an aggregated list of pre-existing news stories that were published by a variety of news organizations throughout the past few years. While we accept tips for new additions on our website, we only publish profiles on incidents that have already been reported somewhere else. TPUSA will continue to fight for free speech and the right for​​ professors to say whatever they wish​;​ however students, parents, and alumni deserve to know the specific incidents and names of professors that advance a radical agenda in lecture halls.

This is just warmed-over “repressive tolerance,” first championed by Herbert Marcuse. Can’t we just machine gun this lot and get it over with?
