This is another example of the arrogant censorship and "cancel culture" mentality that now infects many college students. They think that they have the right to purge conservatives from universities, or at least to make them shut up.

A “brand name” university doesn’t brainwash its students and shut down free speech and thought. I went to a brand name university in the mid-1970s. I was active in a conservative organization. Faculty and students were liberal for the most part, in the old-fashioned sense of the word. I had one political science professor who was a self-described communist. I never had any problems there. That was a brand name university.

In the wake of the left-wing purge of conservative ideas from virtually all public platforms, this is your daily reminder that it isn’t just leaders in the conservative movement being silenced; it’s everyone. Being an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, I have an up-close and personal understanding of this kind of left-wing cancel culture and intellectual intolerance.

I remember the commies from University of Chicago back over 50 years ago. They bragged about how easy it was to compromise American atomic scientists. Their voices dripping with contempt - just butter them up - tell them how only THEY can save the world by leveling the playing field between Russia and the US...and they all talked. Except Edward Teller. And they hated him. No contempt in their voices for Teller - just pure unadulterated hatred.

The reason commies hate us so much is we offer hope to the enslaved...same with other totalitarians. Our existence undermines totalitarian's ability to totally deprive their citizen of any hope.

Hui is weak and does not want to have competition of thought.

“It begins in our classrooms,” where the Ivy-educated Cruzes and Josh Hawleys “are given the tools they need to acquire and keep power, even if it means promoting fascism and white nationalism.”

Leaders of the Crowd-WB Yeats

THEY must to keep their certainty accuse
All that are different of a base intent;
Pull down established honour; hawk for news
Whatever their loose fantasy invent
And murmur it with bated breath, as though
The abounding gutter had been Helicon
Or calumny a song. How can they know
Truth flourishes where the student’s lamp has shone,
And there alone, that have no Solitude?
So the crowd come they care not what may come.
They have loud music, hope every day renewed
And heartier loves; that lamp is from the tomb.
