At least someone's remaining rational:
Quote:MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin System leaders approved a resolution Friday affirming free speech and academic freedom, joining colleges across the country that have officially proclaimed their devotion to free expression amid concerns academia is trying to protect students from being offended.
Quote:As the meeting drew to a close, the students stood and demanded to be allowed to talk. One of them read a speech about how the resolution would open the door to hate speech. The regents ignored him and made their closing remarks as he continued to shout.
Do they not realize how stupid they look?

Huh? The regents passed a resolution supporting free speech, even if it was offensive.

Having to listen to hate speech builds character. How you respond to hate speech demonstrates character.
It is sad that free speech needs to be "reaffirmed".

This...
How unnerving is it to think that people think free speech exists with limits?
The U.S. is the only developed nation which has true freedom of speech.
I can't put myself in somebody's shoes that wants to restrict freedom of speech. Do some of these students not grasp the irony of using a public platform that is built on freedom of speech to argue that freedom of speech should be limited?

No they are not mature enough to handle speech they do not agree with with.

They conveniently get around that because they reject the white imperialist idea of what we consider free speech to be.
