2 colleges finally draw the line
https://www.city-journal.org/free-speech-camille-paglia
Good read on efforts to stifle free speech on campus. Congrats to Philadelphia Arts and the U of Arizona for standing up. Good finish to the article. Colleges are producing a bunch of self-righteous you-know-whats who have no capability of self-evaluation.
"...Every year, thousands of college students graduate and carry into society the same megalomaniacal confidence in their own righteousness that has turned campuses into zones of conformity. Those graduates regard any disagreement with their own political outlook as a manifestation of “hate,” and as such, fair game for suppression. Democratic politicians and the mainstream media have adopted the same tactic, defining political disagreement as “hate” rather than the product of a good-faith difference in world view. Any college presidents not already committed to the premises of the victim revolution should follow the lead of Robbins, Yager, and, before them, the University of Chicago’s Robert Zimmer. The preservation of our Enlightenment culture of reason and violence-free discourse rests on their shoulders."

This is a great argument for raising the voting age to 30.
