"My disdain is rooted in a belief in the power of vigorous debate, name calling and constant finger pointing at those institutions and individuals who would undermine freedom of thought and expression. This requires a willingness to engage in conflict, not run crying to mommy or school administrators. The protests against unpopular political expressions currently roiling many American campuses need to be taken seriously. If universities and colleges willingly capitulate to mobs of hothouse flowers yelling to be protected from every instance of intellectual discomfort, then the purpose of higher learning is nil. Higher education shouldn’t be about perpetuating a nation of sheep, scoundrels and ignoramuses who will probably end up voting for Donald Trump, anyway."
