No mention of the ridiculous amount of wealth a university education costs, the lack of economic education in the formal track and how the academic class (of which the author is a member) is rendered mostly immune from forces most of their students will have to face (investment for retirement, time value of money, etc). But yeah, free speech to yell at homosexuals and feminists and minorities and all that. Most important thing in my fucking life.
- HoppedUpMenace 10y agoThe point is being made that free speech is being suppressed by the very people who should wholeheartedly support and debate it, being that college is the appropriate place to do such things. The author is also pointing out that it has far greater negative implications on the world at present than any other current issue facing college campuses.
- aswanson 10y ago"it has far greater negative implications on the world at present than any other current issue facing college campuses." I call bullshit. The price of college, the elevation of it's utility in our society, and the economic illiteracy of most of it's professors and attendant lack of preparation of it's students all present far more danger to society in the long term than blocking a speech from Milo or some other overblown vacuous controversy surrounding "free speech".
- calibraxis 10y agoYes, the costs result in obvious discrimination against the poor and working class.
