They say that they cannot do more, bullshit.
They can direct their campus officers to unmask these thugs. They can kick these pieces of filth out of their schools. They could fire professors who encourage violence on campus.
The Marxist left is showing it cannot tolerate independent thought and dissent.
Antifa stalking UC Berkeley’s conservative students, group says

Antifa stalking UC Berkeley’s conservative students, group says
Young America’s Foundation (YAF) spokesperson Spencer Brown told Fox News that YAF staff and BCR members were “followed by Antifa thugs" while they were hanging posters on campus.
YAF and Berkeley went back and forth in their efforts to have conservative speakers on campus, given the security concerns after violent protesters shut down Milo Yiannopoulis’ scheduled speech in February.
"In the months leading up to YAF’s campus lecture with Ben Shapiro [on Sept. 14], Berkeley’s administration chose to allow Antifa agitators to shut down several other conservative events [including planned YAF lectures with David Horowitz and Ann Coulter] without holding the thugs responsible for destroying property,” Brown said.
"The YAF spokesman is either confused, ill-informed or intentionally mangling the facts," Mogulof said. "Mr. Horowitz had an event scheduled on campus last spring, security arrangements had been made and everything was good to go."
Mogulof said Pieter Sittler, BCR vice president at the time of the event, stated that the Horowitz talk was canceled due to "low expected turnout" and not because of Antifa....
While the administration said they are doing all they can to protect and defend free speech, the Berkeley College Republicans targeted by Antifa don’t feel the same way.
“The university’s response has been pathetic at best,” said student Matt Ronnau, a BCR member.
“Time and time again the university has bent over backward to protect the feelings of supposed adults, while providing no actual physical safety to the conservative minority on campus," he added. "It is unfortunate that the city of such a great college has been overrun by a lawless, anti-American, domestic terrorist organization.”
“It is a sad day when exercising our constitutional right to free speech … means we have to face months of stalking, harassment and even violence,” said Troy Worden, a conservative student at UC Berkeley.
“I have to look behind my shoulder whenever I am on campus and especially when I am engaged in political activism,” Worden told Fox News.
“The No. 1 public university in the world and the so-called ‘birthplace of the free speech movement’ is anything but. It is the place where America’s conservative youth are daily under threat of violence, lacking the support of the university administration, police, or city. The Free Speech Movement is dead, and the left has killed it.”
