I just spent some time looking around that site.
most of the example complaints they highlight are just students saying they don't feel comfortable speaking up or they had dorm mate issues.
Does not feel like a good way to rank a school's actions to hinder speech (as an institution/administration).
Does have some better real examples but large majority I read were not.
Just because you don't feel comfortable doesn't mean someone is stopping you from speaking.
You can't force someone to live with or listen to ones ___ whatever religion, hate speech, crazy liberal ideas etc.
And yes.. Most young people are pretty open minded and fairly liberal.
If you hold views outside that box you should speak them! But you can't be made if people judge you or the majority speak themselves against those beliefs.
I don't see how those common complaints are a school forcing someone to be silent or punishing them for their viewpoints.
Maybe I'm being too emotional given recent court rulings/direction of my country; Which is probably why I took so much time on that site and commenting.
But your speech !== that I will listen, or not judge you, or allow you to be around me.
A lot of the religious court rulings (PrEP most recent) feel like these complaints. Freedom to speak/express your religion does not go so far as to control my choices and my body or force me to listen to you.
