And you certainly don't need postmodernism to listen to other perspectives. You can just do that & then evaluate them factually & ethically.

How do we have a censorship problem at universities? Loud, uncomfortable protests are not censorship.
-
Yes, if they're a "heckler's veto." I strongly support protest. But that does not involve preventing others from hearing a chosen speaker
-
Question is where to draw line. California Supreme Ct said: "heckling, interrupting, harsh questioning, and booing" can advance 1st Amnd.
-
Those are all fine - with proviso that heckling is not so severe or prolonged as to prevent speaker from speaking of others from hearing.
-
The heckler's veto is not a relevant concept if the speaker can take the stage without fear for their safety-even if they strain to be heard
-
It's not the speaker's rights (so much) of concern here, but the listeners'. See:https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/facing-the-crowd …

I disagree that deference to speakers and their audience demands transforming a public space into a private one like Spencer proposes in Fl.
-
Are you saying that anyone can prevent anyone from speaking or listening on a campus at any time? That's not what universities are about.
