You are exactly right, and that is why FIRE is suing. They have been trying to get universities to stop with these stupid “free speech zones” now for years, and have had some success. They are now pushing harder.

It does appall me however that the worst form of totalitarian oppression to free speech can now be found most routinely in the academic world, the one place where open-mindedness and the free market of ideas should be honored the most. Such a situation does not bode well for our future.
