The irony? In the 1960s, UC Berkeley was home to the Free Speech Movement.

That is indeed an irony

What were they not permitted to say in the 60s? Hating on the vets?

And Reagan showed that you play hardball with disruptive leftists.

That's because to them Free Speech = anti-Western society speech.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. The Free Speech Movement was about letting left wing radicals spout a never-ending stream of obscenities while voicing a left-wing point of view. That didn’t include allowing right wingers to speak at all. Especially not Ben Shapiro, who doesn’t even spout obscenities, and worse, is Jooo!ish and right wing. You have to keep those people on the thought plantation. They’re so clever they can undermine all that was accomplished in the 1960s, once they get going.
