@ThankYouforHelp I think both the left and the right have changed and become more extreme in their views. You mention the right, but this has also happened on the left. It used to be that most on the left used to be classic Liberals who championed free speech. Now the left doesn’t care about free speech as much as it cares about other issues. In fact when speech is seen as impeding any of these higher causes, it is quickly jettisoned. There is a reason even comedians like Chris Rock, Jerry Sienfeld and Bill Maher, none of whom can be called right wing increasingly refuse to perform on college campuses. College campuses have become increasingly intolerant to views that don’t abide by what the new left considers morally correct.
We really do have a problem on college campuses right now in terms of diversity of opinion. Again I want a healthy mix of left and right on campus. I don’t want an over abundance of right wing students and profs either. That would be terrible. Both sides are necessary to have interesting dialog. We don’t get much of that now on most campuses.
