This year, Princeton University’s annual Constitution Day Lecture contended that “the academy has never promoted free speech as a central value.”

As much as I think they should take their own advice and shut up, I appreciate seeing people use their Constitutional freedoms of speech and assembly.

Hopefully it’s all being recorded and a potential employer in the future will be able to appreciate learning about their use of the 1st amendment to criticise the 1st amendment.

How appropriate for Princeton... which brought us progressivism via Woodrow Wilson.

Gradually local and state governments, schools, colleges, entertainers and mega-industries are aligning with each other against US citzens and the US Constitution.

T. McGee, thug only partially describes the terrorists these people are....they use unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians....that is more than breaking the law as in thuggery...BLM and Antfia are terrorists...domestic terrorist simply means they are supposedly American Citizens....the masks, hoods and weapons say OTA...probably ISIS, al Qaeda, and other foreign terrorists have liberally infiltrated these "protests"....using the American Negro's sense of victim-hood paid protestors.

1. round them up.
2. incarcerate them
3. interrogate them....then weed out the Milquetoast for Brains would be activists who follow them....I don't think the military want them but that is where they belong...giving them a perspective of just how lucky they are to live in this country...among other things.

U.S. Citizens need to go to school on these events.

Let them express their hatred in public.

All I ask, is that the public pay attention and realize the true ramifications of what these people advocate for.

We need to exercise our free speech even more loudly than they do.

“If thought can corrupt language, then language can corrupt thought.” George Orwell, `1984’
It looks like the left has finally decided that the destruction of words is a beautiful thing.
The liberals have gone full lemming.

This was mentioned while I was attending the Cato Institute’s Constitution Day Symposium. What a difference.

The FIRST thing that tyranny stamps out is the freedom to speak peaceably in dispute and to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances. (3 of the 5 1st Amendment freedoms!) These are totalitarians who vainly dream of draining America’s veins of this lifeblood! Resist them we MUST!

Liberalism is truly a voracious disease that eats the brain and is highly contagious.

Who also brought us the Espionage Act.

They would certainly revise their opinion if someone shut down their right to make stupid, ill informed statements like this one.

So ban this "event".

Make it clear that anyone expressing this sentiment will be punished. Have campus police out in full force watching for and arresting anyone with a sign or otherwise saying they are against free speech.

Show them that they are not "allowed" to have this thought.

Intolerance will not be tolerated.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962)."
The oath of allegiance to the Constitution sworn by US Army officers.

Tell me, again, as they are treasonous enemies of the United States, that we can't shoot the student body of Princeton, leave their bodies to rot on the Quad, shoot their treasonous parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, pets, burn their houses, cars, shred all paper with their names, bulldoze the graves of their ancestors...

It isn't personal.
