    More utter and complete nonsense, conflating words with violence. Nothing about an obscure written essay is 'violence.' This is Maoist.https://twitter.com/CHSommers/status/859167845594402816 …

      Criticizing choices of what to cite on the basis of author identity as opposed to content is perhaps the most worrying part.

      That's the point. If words are violence- meeting it with other versions of violence (i.e. physical) seems justified.

      The solution is state and fed laws requiring that schools receiving gov funds post video of all lectures.
