I agree that some of these speakers may have interesting things to say, but it is the right of these 483 students to petition it.
I don't agree with it, but I support their right to do it.
Is it conservatives flipping out when the granddaughter of a black share cropper wants to talk about race? Or tearing down the signs of people who disagree on abortion?
Is it liberals who blow up abortion clinics and beat/kill doctors who perform them?
Ahhh so you're going to get a bursh out which is that wide? ready to condemn all Muslims? Nope?
But even with a more narrow brush do you want to talk about who's home Obama launched his presidential campaign? Why is was a man who had membership in a terroirst organization that planted bobms ubder police cars!

The bombing of the Los Angeles Times on October 1, 1910 killed 21 people. The perpetrators of this crime were the McNamara brothers (James and John McNamara), two Irish-American brothers who wanted to unionize the paper. The McNamaras became a cause célèbre amongst the labor movement in the United States, though their support eroded when they admitted their guilt.

At American universities Lefties regurally try to get conservative speaking engagements cancelled, try to stop conservatives from having demonstrations, and have even threatened to sue the school at times if someone dares to speak counter to their agenda.

I agree it's a generational issue on both side but it is most often expressed at universities by the leftist in power.
Quote:Now, it seems like you guys are trashing an entire generation based on a petition with less than 500 signatures. That seems a little superfluous.
The petition is just evidence... The Millennial kids are the most self absorbed generation since the 1920's and honestly they are giving that generation a run for their money.
