Yes, there is free speech in university academia. I was never shouted down in class. But, the liberal bias is undeniable and grating. It was one of the main reasons I left.

That just means you did not go to/get into the right university.

You either have free speech or you don't, including the right to hate speech and other unsavory topics. I find it funny that many lefties want to ban hate speech and righties want to ban any speech they deem unAmerican (which they seem to make up as they go), but BOTH sides claim to support and hide behind the First Amendment.

Anyways, at UCB, yes. Anyone and everyone seems to hold a rally there. At other colleges? I doubt it.

I think that you are confusing Liberal Arts College with the particular political view. They are completely different.

In the term 'liberal arts', the word liberal is an adjective characterizing the noun arts. It is a modern term and interpretation of classical teaching methods, which covered a broad (or liberal) range of subject matter--literature, history, music, science, mathematics. It is based on Greek culture.

It isn't an adjective describing political views.
