Freedom of speech and mob rule on campus

Thomas Lifson
American Thinker

Cinnamon Stillwell, an AT contributor, describes the serous problems with freedom of speech on college campuses in a San Francisco Chronicle column.
    "...it's the students who have become the bullies as of 
late. A disturbing number seem to feel that theirs is an
inviolate world to which no one of differing opinion need
apply. As a result, everything from pie throwing to
disrupting speeches to attacks on speakers has become
commonplace."
She goes on to describe a number of notable incidents of mobs shutting down speakers because of politically incorrect views being expressed. The article makes a great companion piece for Selwyn Duke’s article today on the process by which free speech rights are being lost.
