    Free speech on a college campus? Sure. As long as it doesn’t go against whatever faux-left coterie is in power and ruthlessly destroys the lives of anyone who dares disagree. The options now are to vociferously scream agreement, to strongly support an argument, to wholeheartedly nod your head in agreement until you chip a few teeth, or to hide from the entire “discussion.”

    Even worse? Most of the right-siders are equally inept at a trivium-based discourse.
