On: Campuses must combat growing zeal for censorship

[andrepd]

I never invoked the right not to be "uncomfortable" so I would appreciate if you took down the straw-man.

Are these public universities? Regardless, aren't the students in their right to organize counter-demonstrations? As long as they abide by the law and commit no crimes then surely the demonstration itself is not a crime no matter how it may irk some people?

<< Regardless, aren't the students in their right to organize counter-demonstrations? As long as they abide by the law and commit no crimes then surely the demonstration itself is not a crime no matter how it may irk some people? >>

I completely agree with you. Students should be able to organize counter-demonstrations as long as they abide by the law and commit no crimes.

From the first paragraph of the article:

"American college students are increasingly resorting to brute force, and sometimes criminal violence, to shut down ideas they don’t like."

<< Are these public universities? >> UCLA and Berkeley are public universities that are funded by taxes. Claremont McKenna College is not, although the speaker was invited.
