[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people don’t want to take responsibility for their words. Sure, you can say them—as in the instructor won’t kick you out of the class, a gang of students won’t beat you up, the university won’t expel you. But if you say something rude, insensitive, ignorant, or deliberately provocative, the natural consequences are that other people will challenge you, they won’t want to work with you or socialize with you, and the teacher will rightly assess that you are not a productive member of the class, and that might reflect on your grade if a portion of the grade is contributions to class discussions.

So, feel free to exercise your free speech. But understand that there will be consequences. Either adjust what you say and how you interact with people, or accept the consequences. [/quote]

Incorrect. If you deviate from the bounds of “reasonable” conversation in class on a college campus, essentially talking as a Republican, your peers will brand you a bigot or worse.

Very glad there is now a pushback.  Those trying to censor anything that is not approved by the far left are going to be facing some serious backlash at the polls if they keep it up.[/quote]

Hilarious, have you seen some of the R senate candidates? I bet the GOP wishes that they weren’t being given a platform to speak [/quote]

Yes.  Similarly, there are some wacko D candidates, who embarrass the party every time they open their mouths.[/quote]
