Although Milo Yiannopoulos made sound arguments in his college lectures, his primary role was as a provocateur rather than an idea man. Essentially he was trolling people and trying to get a rise out of them. By contrast, Charles Murray is the epitome of an intellectual, a guy with impeccable credentials who has made a long career researching, writing and lecturing about the big issues of society. But as can be seen here...
...the tone of the presenter and quality of argument matter not at all to current college students. They will throw a tantrum rather than sit and listen, or allow others to listen, to any speaker who challenges their views.
Gee, I could "ask" to share the podium, or I could start a riot & blow up the podium. The SJW handbook says I should go with Option 2.
I still say take the Federal Money away....NOW. The Mommy &/or Daddy of little these little Junior Facists won't be ponying up 60-80K per year.
Are you listening Trump? This wasn't a talking point in the election because this behavior (SJW strategy) didn't really blow up until now. Put these Universities that don't respect the Constitution on a special List NOW. Not one Federal tax Dollar to them....make an example of them. Pull the funding NOW...March 4th.
If you really want to get things done, skip Trump and go straight to his boss.... Vlad Putin.

I know of no conservative or believer in classical liberal values who would deny this as written. But apparently "talking back" means rioting and causing the former's speech to not be heard by those who want to hear it (who by the way are a small minority on campus).
Free speech? Then let it be. Why do you feel the need to defend this?
If the other ideas are so wrong, LET THEM COME OUT, LET THEM INTO THE LIGHT. If your ideas are so strong, OPEN THEM TO QUESTION AND CRITICISM AND OPPOSITION.
The ideas have gone out and are in the light, why do you think people are so pissed????!!!!

Sorry, the liberals will continue to shoot down stupid ideas and correct fake news.
If you right-wingers are looking for an easier way to spread your lies and stupid thoughts, you are sadly mistakened.

After swarming Murray and two school officials, the protesters shouted profanities, shoved members of the group and then blocked them from getting to a vehicle in a nearby parking lot. Witnesses said the confrontation was aggressive, intimidating and unpredictable and felt like it was edging frighteningly close to outright violence.
Shoving and blocking movement are clear violations of the non-aggression principle.
