at my home? no, that's private. at a public university? yes.
the constitutionally enshrined right to free speech does in fact trump you arbitrarily enumerated 'right' to not be uncomfortable.
- andrepd 10y agoI never invoked the right not to be "uncomfortable" so I would appreciate if you took down the straw-man. Are these public universities? Regardless, aren't the students in their right to organize counter-demonstrations? As long as they abide by the law and commit no crimes then surely the demonstration itself is not a crime no matter how it may irk some people?

Students should be able to organize counter-demonstrations as long as they abide by the law and commit no crimes. From the first paragraph of the article: "American college students are increasingly resorting to brute force, and sometimes criminal violence, to shut down ideas they don’t like." << Are these public universities? >> UCLA and Berkeley are public universities that are funded by taxes. Claremont McKenna College is not, although the speaker was invited.
