Free speech is alive and well on American campuses as students are welcome to protest injustice as long as their slogans are perfectly calibrated to offend noone and can withstand the scrutiny of bad-faith actors and no individual among them is a hothead who's said some offensive shit either during the protest or previously on social media. #gazaprotests#censorship#acab

Imagine defenders of southern culture camped out on the college green, splitting their time between scholarly rebuttals of the history curriculum's denigration of Robert E. Lee and John C. Calhoun & loudly amplified chants of pro-Confederate slogans. Occasionally participants yell epithets at Black students walking by, some overtly racist & some referring to DEI.
Is that an exercise of free speech that university administrations should tolerate?
