Trigger warning: You are about to view the truth about liberal fascism.

Should offensive speech be banned? Where should we, as a society, draw the line where permitted speech is on one side, and forbidden speech is on the other? Should we even have that line? And should free speech be limited by things like trigger warnings and punishments for microaggressions? Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, answers these questions and more.
Don’t the professors and students who advocate these speech codes realize that, as the noose of political correctness tightens, it will strangle THEM?
No, because they figure they are in charge, so they won’t be affected.
But occasionally, they are mistaken. I saw an op-ed in the WSJ a few months ago by a university professor in some modern PC field of “study” who ran into this, and expressed her dismay. 🙂
The speaker does not touch on hate speech, incitement to riot, denial of historic fact, denial of human rights for ethnic or other social groups. As far as I’m concerned, he only touched the surface of the issue.
I’m not sure why you say that. I viewed his talk as very general, and those specific aspects of freedom of speech are just that, specific aspects. For example, “hate speech” is just another PC codeword, like “micro aggression”, and it refers to the same thing: any speech disliked by leftists. Ditto the other cases you mentioned.
