I think it's the latter. I remember being super worried about political correctness when I was in college in the 90s. I thought was terrible and anti-free speech. Considering we just elected the most politically incorrect presidential candidate in modern history my concerns were likely overblown. I don't think the college stuff is really about free speech. As far as I know Ann Coulter et al. have the right to speak anywhere that will have them. It's just that a pretty sizable and vocal segment of the Berkeley student body won't have them. Institutions get to choose - if they want to be closed minded that's their fate. A blasphemy law on the other hand, is a qualitatively different thing. Comparing a college that doesn't want a particular speaker on their campus to a government that literally snatches you up and throws you in prison is a pretty far stretch.
