the left used free speech to squeeze into the door and now that they are in and are trying to push conservatives out and close it.

Idiocy on display at Arizona State. Post Modernist thinking rejects logic and relies on relativity.
Richard Amesbury and Catherine O’Donnell
Richard Amesbury is a professor of religious studies and philosophy at Arizona State University.
Catherine O’Donnell is a professor of history at Arizona State University.
These people are absolutely insufferable.
L
Why not tell us their names?
They both should be fired for intentionally representing “acceptable selected speech” as “free speech.”
The school would be better off just running their gaming theory classes so the Strip could have more dealers, croupiers, etc.
Case in point: living a gay lifestyle reduces life expectancy by over 20 years. More than obesity, smoking, alcoholism, and drug use combined!
And yet they push it on young people. The left should be sued by the millions of families who have had to grieve over this.
Expert speech? For a bunch of atheists they sure do believe in the divine right of kings like themselves.
It was always, you shut up and let us talk.
“A pair of professors from Arizona State University wrote an essay which was published last week by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The gist of the article is that academics are overestimating the value of free speech. In fact, they come to the conclusion that free speech is a right-wing framing which ought to be rejected by colleges who, after all, have lots of experts on hand to determine what is and is not acceptable speech on a given topic.“
I DEFY The Bee to beat that!
These commie scum need free speech to get their pagan religion out into the air but they then need to kill free speech if they want to keep it there.
You don’t vote your way out of socialism…
Free speech is “acting white”.
In the third world they just execute dissenters.
Noticeably they avoid an honest critique of their own respective fields, each of which has been subject to leftist bastardization. Of course they object to free speech. It puts them at risk of being totally discredited.
It's hard to indoctrinate the sheep when free speech wolves are permitted to enter the flock and tell the truth about Marxism.
The First Amendment was written specifically against such tyrants who wish to curtail speech.
The Second Amendment was written to protect the First - and all the others.
These commies should be shamed and fired for undermining free speech as an example to their ilk. Claiming that academics are “experts” is a symptom of insanity. They are a threat to themselves and others.
And these guys aren’t outliers either. Being anti-free speech is the orthodox position of the academic left even if it isn’t advertised in public very often. You can see it most clearly in how conservative speakers are treated when they come to campus. And also in the left’s equation of certain types of speech (namely speech they don’t like) with violence.
Which explains why certain groups oppose it.
