Joshua HollandFree speech is alive and well on American campuses as students are welcome to protest injustice as long as their slogans are perfectly calibrated to offend no one and can withstand the scrutiny of bad-faith actors and no individual among them is a hothead who's said some offensive shit either during the protest or previously on social media. #gazaprotests #censorship #acab
Martin Vermeer FCD@JoshuaHolland I'm self-censoring too.

Imagine defenders of southern culture camped out on the college green, splitting their time between scholarly rebuttals of the history curriculum's denigration of Robert E. Lee and John C. Calhoun & loudly amplified chants of pro-Confederate slogans. Occasionally participants yell epithets at Black students walking by, some overtly racist & some referring to DEI.
Is that an exercise of free speech that university administrations should tolerate?

Jay@BenRossTransit @JoshuaHolland @DeanBaker13 There’s a shitload of space between “we can do not one damn thing” and “SEND IN THE TROOPS”.
@WhiteCatTamer @BenRossTransit @DeanBaker13 Several schools have announced that they will in fact do nothing as long as the camps remain peaceful, and that seems to be working out quite well for them.
@BenRossTransit First, you must be out of the loop if you're unaware of the fact that unis tolerate intentionally offensivve provocations by RW students every single day. Owning the libs is central to the College Republicans/ Turning Point USA project.The pro-Israel student groups are infamous for it.
Second, I spoke of free speech, and viewpoint discrimination is antithetical to it.
