"This country was founded on certain priciples including Free Speech, and once those rights are gone so is America as we know it."

I think the crux of the issue is what is the mission of a University?

Do we want the marxist version, where the university is used by its professionals as a tool for converting and inciting youth to overthrow the existing culture, its values and institutions?

Or the democratic version where students, under the mentoring of a professional, examine, study, analyze and learn the accumulated knowledge of past and present?

IMO, many universities, Ivy League ones in particular, are populated by the likes of the Mogadishu guy, who are hell bent on converting students to their political view and inciting them to act.

The guy has a right to free speech, but does he have a right to be foisting his political views on the students at a 'teach-in' on campus property?

We already have the marxist version.
