And another left winger stating that free speech shouldn't really be free speech.....
NYU Professor ‘Defends’ Free Speech On Campus…By Saying There Should Be None
Baer implored his readers to "not rehash those debates" because it would be problematic for a generation grown up in a tradition of expressing their traumatic experiences in response to issues of fact. Using the extreme case of Holocaust denial as an example of positions people take without much basis in reality, Baer argued that certain conversations and topics should be censored to help the public, especially those who are "not open to debate." He specifically alluded to issues of illegal immigration and racism, insinuating that minorities are incapable of arguing along rational, logical lines on tough topics.
What made Baer's article particularly asinine was his praise for the efforts of students who attempted to or successfully shut down individuals like Richard Spencer, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Charles Murray. In Baer's warped perspective, these students are the true advocates of free speech:
The recent student demonstrations at Auburn against Spencer’s visit — as well as protests on other campuses against Charles Murray, Milo Yiannopoulos and others — should be understood as an attempt to ensure the conditions of free speech for a greater group of people, rather than censorship.
Yes....democrat party, brown shirts preventing people from giving speeches is actually defending free speech....just ask George Orwell...
