The majority of universities being discussed are government institutions.
- tstactplsignore 10y agoNo, a majority are distinctly private- CMC, Middlebury, and Dartmouth. The UC schools are the only public schools with high profile deplatforming debates recently. Let's be real, a very large portion of the conservatives in this debate wish to squeeze their ideology into private universities where the majority of faculty and students don't want a thing to do with it.
- nilkn 10y agoMany of these speakers are actually invited by students. So I don't think it can easily be concluded that the majority of students don't want a thing to do with them. The majority of students are not involved in these violent protests.
- JustBirk 10y agoSo what? Do you get to stand on the desk at the DMV and yell at minorities because it's your right to free-speech? The reason that conservative ideas aren't well represented in universities is because universities are places of higher thinking. The reason conservatives are attacking it is not because they care about free-speech, it's because they care about their speech. If the tables were turned you can bet on their silence.
