If you want to freak out the MIT administration and see just how much 'freedom of expression' is allowed, then start a movement to open-source / free-license all of MIT's patents and other intellectual property (all of which were funded at least in part with taxpayer dollars). That's a lot more significant - and at the heart of what's gone wrong with American academics, i.e. the corporatization and privatization of public resources that's erased long-standing traditions of open sharing of research results - than any of this social justice warrior hysteria stuff that the media likes to talk about. Really, try to get Lex Fridman, noted MIT-based podcaster/Twitterer, to invite on a guest to discuss the corporatization of the university system - and the related exclusive licensing of MIT patents - in the United States, in which institutions like MIT and the University of California have played a leading role.
