Comments on: 1984 at the University of Michigan https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/1984-at-the-university-of-michigan/ Tue, 15 May 2018 23:07:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Edward https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/1984-at-the-university-of-michigan/#comment-1052263 Tue, 15 May 2018 23:07:26 +0000 http://behindtheblack.com/?p=51670#comment-1052263 From the article: “In other words, as the complaint says, ‘the most sensitive student on campus effectively dictates the terms under which others may speak.’”

This is known as the heckler’s veto.

What do you want to bet that I could not successfully create my own veto, because the “Stasi” are not sympathetic with my sensitivity and plight?

From the article: “One of the students in the lawsuit believes that Black Lives Matter is ‘a hateful group that promotes racial division’ and has ‘sowed division [on campus] through intimidation by, for example, disrupting speakers and events and vandalizing student displays.’”

Why is that sensitive student the one who is intimidated but the hateful (Only) Black Lives Matter group is allowed to spread its obvious hatred in an intimidating manner?

It seems that freedom of speech is for only certain people or groups (friends of the school) and not for others (enemies). the philosophy is “free speech for me but not for thee.”

Berkeley is doing something similar, but they are openly stating their anti-conservative bias.

The cost of free speech is priceless.
I hope the university is truely bankrupted For this.
