But if they can’t express it who would ever know?

This is what happens when those free thinking progressive students grow up and become teachers but forget what their conservative teachers taught them.

Eventually they don’t teach the constitution or its amendments but misinterpretations of them.
I.E. free speech becomes free speech, as long as it doesn’t offend someone.
Separation of church and state is not in the constitution.
The second amendment does not mean only the military, or only in your home, or only specific weapons.

And so on.

Tenure used to be used to protect the teaching and opinions of divisive professors.
Like those free thinkers of the sixties. The progressives of the seventies.

In situations like this I am reminded of the Stanford prison Experiment.
Anyone, when placed in a position of authority, can become abusive and eventually the fascists they originally fought against.

All those free thinker progressives are now in charge and are just going crazy with power

You also need to tell the governments that fund these universities that you are offended by you tax dollars being used to stifle free speech.

In reply to Greg Jones. Greg Jones: You need to tell UCLA this. That will be the only way you might have some influence on them.

I am a UCLA alum. For many years, my opposition to UCLA management decisions has steadily grown. This story only increases my opposition. Combined with the ways that UCLA views and handles its alums – USC figured out how to do this right decades ago – I will donate money to USC before I ever donate to UCLA . . .
