They need to learn that people have differing views and that's just part of life.

There are biological differences, and no gener is not constantly changing and fluid as many liberals claim, although at least I have the decency to listen to their nonsense before making that conclusion.

People who continually deny free speech should be banned from speaking events or better still just kicked out of University altogether.

Universities could face fines over free speech curbs - BBC News

Universities told they 'must commit to free speech' under new plans - The Telegraph
And ironically individuals in the UK are arrested for exercising free speech.

No they are not.

You can be arrested for fear or provocation of violence or intentional harassment, alarm or distress which is very different to being arrested for exercising your right to free speech. You are also free to insult, as long as your behviour does involve actual threats against a person, such as threats to kill, and you do not harrass or cause alarm, distress and fear in others.

The UK is a signatory of the European Convention on Human Rights, and the ECHR was enshrined in to UK Law under the Human Rights Act 1998.

Section 10 afford the right to freedom of expression and information, and can only be overriden when the rights of others must also be taken in to consideration in relation to Article 8 the Right to Privacy and Family Life and Article 17 which relates to the Abuse of Rights. The ECHR will not protect your right to Hate Speech as it interfers with the Human Rights of others to be left in peace and privacy as mentioned in Article 8 and is an abuse of the rights of others as mentioned in Article 17.

See Belkacem v Belgium (2017) ECHR 253 posted in the link below.

The UK is one of 47 European Countries that are members of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and musr adhere to the European Court of Human Rights. The ECHR is a totally seperate organisation to the European Union and Brexit does not affect Britain's membership.

None of them. They'll get jobs working for older versions of themselves and they'll both be reduced to tears every time they think of a tree losing its life or hear anyone state opinions that differ from theirs.

Hiring managers don't talk about this because it's illegal, but there are certain groups whose resumes are put in pile #3 - the high liability / won't consider pile. Graduates from these really liberal colleges are pile #3 material.

I don't understand how they are allowed time and again to destroy equipment, break laws, and face no disciplinary action whatsoever.

No, they're not. At best it's the base of the Green Party.
