Elon's Twitter Purchase and Free Speech on Campus

The progressive elites are having a meltdown following the announcement of Elon Musk’s buyout of Twitter. At The View, the ever-thoughtful Sunny Hostin proclaimed that Elon Musk only wanted to protect the free speech of “straight white men.” At NBC, correspondent Jo Ling Kent predicted a surge in safety problems “especially for women and minorities.” CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell warned that Twitter will become a “haven for disinformation and hate speech.”

Nothing of the sort will happen, of course, except for the overblown incantations of the Cultural Marxists.

And what about colleges and universities? Thanks to the vagaries of political correctness, U.S. colleges have become an intellectual backwater. The effects of Marxist ideology are evident in terms of widespread speech codes, promotion of “critical” theories, and other campus practices that seek to vitiate basic cultural precepts.

The dismal state of campus free speech is revealed by a recent survey of 481 colleges that reported only 12% of colleges received a “green-light” rating. But a green-light score is not as impressive as it sounds. It only means that the school has no written policies that directly imperil free speech. The rating does not signify that right-of-center student groups can hold events without harassment, that professors allow free-wheeling classroom debates, or that white males are not subjected to villainous stereotypes.

Without factual evidence that statement is extremely racist and intended to incite viewers. The producers of the show, 'The View', should fire him ....

There is nothing vague about political correctness. It is perfectly specific.

Possibly. I’m not on Twitter, never has been, so I cannot check, but still thought it was too fun not to share.
