The UC Berkeley controversy is a bad example. It is a manufactured controversy with the intent to paint all colleges as being unwelcome to conservative viewpoints. How receptive would Liberty University be to Planned Parenthood giving a speech to the students? It is a false equivalence and it is another example of manufacturing outrage by shining a light on deep cultural differences.
- enknamel 9y agoI don't think Liberty University would riot and literally try to kill the people from Planned Parenthood. They might stand outside with signs and protest. What we are seeing in Berkeley is a much bigger issue. They are literally trying to harm and silence anyone who doesn't get in line or speaks out against their agenda.
