Except that it's not true. Both sides have been up in arms, but looks to me that leftists are trying to stop "hurt feelings" whereas rightist are trying to stop opposition to Trump and his policies, which is far more serious anyway.
The most significant threats to free speech come from conservatives.
Sanford Ungar, director of Georgetown University’s Free Speech Project, did some actual research and offers evidence that the most significant threats to free speech come not from campus liberals but, most frequently, from conservatives.
In the much-publicized college cases, Ungar finds that the same publicity-seeking right-wingers—people like Ann Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and Milo Yiannopoulos—keep showing up on campus, often at events funded by the conservative group Turning Point USA, to “invite, and delight in, disruption.”
Ungar notes a number of far less well-known incidents in which faculty members have been disciplined, or even fired, for criticizing Trump. He also cites numerous examples in which state legislatures—largely led by conservatives—are seeking to shut down free speech. https://www.thenation.com/article/ar...l-intolerance/
Right wing speakers are met with almost instantaneous violence. The left believe speech is violence and that using actual violence to stop it is justified. Look at the evergreen incident and just about every time someone to the right of Mao or Stalin tries to book a college hall for a speech.

Right. I dare anyone to walk on a liberal campus with a red hat and not be close to beat’n to death. Yeah how tolerant the left are to opinion/free speech.

What a bunch of bovine excrement from "The Nation"
You do not see gangs of right leaning people refusing to let liberal/leftist speakers speak on campus. They do not demand safe spaces, enforce PC language requirements, try to ruin people for their views via cancel culture and .................................................. .........................
I was going to go on and list all the ways the left tries to demonize those whom they disagree with and/or shout them down. Heck look at the freaks that caused a highly educated wonderful women like Condi Rice not to be able to speak.
There are plenty of other examples, but why waste my time.
If you really believe that rubbish, I am not going to waste my time.
Rest assured people such as myself think Rachael Maddow is a total idiot, but I am not going to try and get her removed from the airwaves,,,, like the left attempts to do with conservatives like Hannity.
