An excerpt from "Farenheit 451" that every lib should read:
"You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can't have our minorities upset and stirred. Ask yourself, What do we want in this country, above all? People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these." "Yes." Montag could lip-read what Mildred was saying in the doorway. He tried not to look at her mouth, because then Beatty might turn and read what was there, too. "Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Bum the book. Serenity, Montag. Peace, Montag. Take your fight outside. Better yet, into the incinerator. Funerals are unhappy and pagan? Eliminate them, too. Five minutes after a person is dead he's on his way to the Big Flue, the Incinerators serviced by helicopters all over the country. Ten minutes after death a man's a speck of black dust. Let's not quibble over individuals with memoriams. Forget them. Burn them all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean."
Keep in mind that "Animal Farm" and "1984", written by another author( Orwell), warns of similar fates for those who embrace socialism. Orwell, ironically, was a communist who served with the communist side in the Spanish Civil War. There he witnesses first hand what communism actually means in implementation and had an epiphany. Churchill was an admirer of Orwell (as was Orwell of Churchill) and each had signed copies of their books which they cherished, even though they met only one time.

"Free Speech" these days is a code word for Hate......
AND, it's not free. The Hate Web Site you quote and link to is paid for by Billionaires who are telling you, quite successfully I may add, how to think and how to use your "free speech". But it's not free to them....quite costly as a matter of fact.

EVERY internet site is supported by someone financially.
However, do you deny the factual content of the article? Do you not find such an action to be disturbing and a direct assault on the First Amendment?
Perhaps you should re-read "Farenheit 451", "Animal Farm" and "1984".
It is strangely ironic that those individuals claiming to be "liberal" or "progressive" look more and more like "fascists". However, the libs justify their totalitarian actions with the firm conviction that they are morally right, and thus immoral behavior is justified in such instances.
Every totalitarian group in the past has rationalized their actions in the very same manner.

hahahahahahah and you are a true independent thinker......come on bro
Breitbart is no more a 'Hate Web Site' than the New York Times or the Washington Post.
I really wish we could all get on the same page and admit that all news sources are biased to about the same degree. If you want to ignore Breitbart that's fine, but don't act like its beneath you. It's not.
The faculty is seeking to enact the "Chicago Principles", which is a very pro-free speech philosophy. (And BTW, supported by the ACLU, which is very pro-free speech and is roundly believed to be extremely liberal in nature).
The students, as students will often do, due to their age, are going off a bit in the empathetic direction of not understanding the value of free speech, over other's feelings.
Nothing to see here except the faculty of William's University is promoting free speech.

Actually, it's acknowledged (not granted) as a right in the Constitution.
Muzzle, muzzle, muzzle. Coming, again, from the left. Because that's where it always comes from.
