        wasn't a Milo fan who shot a student the other day at UW? Not sure this is still just free speech.

        Every nut like that presumably has heroes. That doesn't mean they're to blame for what he does.

        there is a very fine line there. When judging freedom of speech, we often need to assess intent.

        This sort of redefining of words is like something out of 1984. You can argue x is bad without calling it violence.

        It's interesting that you point these as Orwellian authoritarianism but I guess understand your reference. Thank you.

        If you're a publicly funded university, yes it does. Even the Berkeley chancellor agrees: http://news.berkeley.edu/2017/01/26/chancellor-statement-on-yiannopoulos/ …pic.twitter.com/vATp3tINDC

        Under those rules surely everyone should be able to get an audience? Flat earthers? Area51 UFO nuts?

        Yup. If a student organization invites them, U.C. Berkeley is bound by the First Amendment to allow it.

        Free speech just means we don't arrest the asshole. It doesn't mean a university has to give a platform to crackpots.

        You are confusing the First Amendment with free speech.

        .@paulg humane communities use protest-speech to shun toxic speech (cf. https://mobile.twitter.com/ciccmaher/status/827292734532755458 …): free speech, ✔️ working as intended.

        Reliable sources say Milo planned to publicly name undocumented students @UCBerkeley. Debate over: shutting him down was necessary & good.

        You have Trump as President and you think freedom of speech is threatened at US universities, your evidence being Milo Y. Ok....
