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

Sorry snowflakes! Brave soldiers gave their lives so you and I can have free speech. You’re not going to take it away from anyone.
We’ve always been at war with EastAsia
They use free speech to speak against free speech.

Rule 308 (three-oh-eight)
When Marxist mayors order their police to stand down,
So that Antifa thugs can beat old men to the ground,
Don’t think they’ve surrendered, or been run out of town.
Politicians should consider, and media bosses beware:
When Amendment One is abridged, the Second’s still there,
Just watching and waiting, like a rattlesnake in its lair.
When justice is perverted, and Marxist judges legislate,
When free speech is censored, then banished as hate,
Then the only rule standing will be Rule 308.
This argument, if one can dignify this mess of ambiguity with that term, boils down to "culture trumps the Constitution". In fact, it does not.
Princeton University should be stripped of its academic accreditation. A Princeton diploma should be worth no more than used toilet paper from a diarrhetic ward.
If only there were an entity that would shut them down........
RICH with irony!
Founded in 1746, 41 years before the US Constitution was law. That could have some bearing on the free speech issue...other than Princeton's "In service for Humanity"...as long as you agree with them............
Princeton University has declared itself an enemy of freedom.
When the accounting comes they will be remembered.
“Princeton holds ‘F%*# Free Speech’ event for Constitution Day”
Arrest those at Princeton who dared to even say this...since they hate freedom of speech. F**k subversives.
excellent post #4
beautiful
I’d beg to differ. They want free speech gone? Fine. Arrest their sorry behinds, and throw them in the darkest hole that there is. It’s what they are begging for

John Witherspoon (February 5, 1722 – November 10, 1794) was a Scottish-American Presbyterian minister and a Founding Father of the United States.[1] Witherspoon embraced the concepts of Scottish Common Sense Realism, and while president of the College of New Jersey (1768–94; now Princeton University), became an influential figure in the development of the United States’ national character. Politically active, Witherspoon was a delegate from New Jersey to the Second Continental Congress and a signatory to the July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independence. He was the only active clergyman and the only college president to sign the Declaration.[2] Later, he signed the Articles of Confederation and supported ratification of the Constitution. In 1789 he was Convening Moderator of the First General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.

““For me it seems so context-based. Culture is a wonderful thing because it makes us feel free even when we’re not actually free, right? There’s no such thing as uncoerced free will. We learn to desire the things that we’re taught from an early age, that we’re acculturated to,” she continued. “My sense is that we’re always adjusting our interpretation of that based upon our own experiences. So I don’t know, when we talk about natural rights, I’m not sure if they’re natural rights or if they’re just our illusion of natural rights because we’ve grown up believing it—because it’s our ‘common sense.’”
Why unadulterated BS!
This professor needs to be sacked - she’s an idiot and doesn’t understand the concept of objectively established rights (thinking they’re only “cultural” as she’s A Obviously an atheist (and incapable of thinking there’s something better than herself) B a Marxist (because she thinks culture determines all values so the state is all and all is the state)
Unlike her idiotic beliefs - I have no problem with her thinking them or pontificating on them. But, to use her own definitions, I think she should be silenced when it comes to stating her opinions are professional or authoritative.
