it's telling that the best example of restricting "left-leaning speech" they can come up with is "please wear a mask during this pandemic."

no, one group is absolutely wrong in that scenario, and it's obvious which one, and it's absurd that you're trying to "both sides" PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF A DEADLY VIRUS.

when conservatives have spent generations maligning higher education, because exposure to people from all walks of life and learning how the world works tends to make people more liberal anyway, it's a wonder there's any conservatives in college at all

I have yet to see any evidence this is actually happening. demanding rights for Palestinian civilians is not the same as celebrating terrorist attacks. and if anybody's been calling for violence against Jews, it's the right. remember Charlottesville?

you can care about more than one thing at a time. and by no logic is the answer "you can't criticize anyone's human rights record."

(a) they've got more liberals on campus than conservatives, so... duh
(b) implying Jews are conservative when more often the opposite is true
(c) conservatives are upset by the existence of women, minorities & LGBT people so I'm not going to worry about restricting speech that upsets conservatives
(d) you don't get to rail against education & then complain when it doesn't cater to you. you don't even want to be here, so why do you care what's censored on college campuses?

yes they are. no speech that calls for genocide. no speech that attacks individuals for existing as a member of a minority group. oh does that mean conservatives can't recruit for their "black lives don't matter, (((Jews))) control the world, women belong in the kitchen" death cult? whoopsie, how terrible. 🙃

watering "people calling for the eradication of my people" down to "feeling uncomfortable" is grossly disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

BOOOOOOTH SIIIIIIIIIDES GRAAAAAAAUGH I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF 🪟 🏃‍♀️

@dietotaku my children are adults now, but when the pandemic hit we joked that they had been prepared for lock down their whole life. Because always went to their own rooms and used technology. Now that seems sad to me.
