> That's a bad comparison. Clubs like those, especially at a public college actually

I feel like we have our wires crossed - the parent was talking about university/college policy and not social media.

I'm saying if universities/colleges want to police speech for any offensive content then they need to apply the policy uniformly and ban the atheist and communist clubs.

> but it's not as prominent as you might think, at least on the public college level.

I think the crazy preachers are a bad example - a normal person who just wants to give an interesting talk does not want to put up with screaming protestors. They don't want the stress. They don't have a security detail. Etc.

The people who don't mind are the crazy preachers and the people who get paid for controversy like Milo.

The moderates have already been de-platformed.
