...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.

I guess that's why they call him "controversial"

Like many Republicans I know as well. Nobody wants to listen to somebody who doesn't share their already formed opinion anymore.

Funny, I don't hear much about Republicans going to lectures just to shout down and/or assault the speaker.

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.

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.

Murray should not have been shouted down. But I will note that his credentials are not universally acknowledged to be impeccable.

That is "outright violence".

Shoving and blocking movement are clear violations of the non-aggression principle.
