Very troubling what happened to @JoshMBlackman being heckled so he could not speak. I disagree with Josh about more things than I can list. But people should be allowed to speak, especially on a college campus, about controversial subjects
(especially abt free speech on campus!)https://twitter.com/lsolum/status/984513633827762176 …
Not only is such organized heckling counterproductive---turning Josh into a symbol of squelching conservative speech on campus---it is morally wrong. If you don't like what he has to say, there are ways to protest consistent with the First Amendment which don't shut him down
What are you talking about in regards to the First Amendment? This isn't a case where the government was limiting his speech.
Right, but the protesting was being done by students. There was no government action infringing on his speech or right to speak.
read eugene's post about the role of the administration
As far as I can tell the administration's only action was to issue this statement: "CUNY School of Law fully supports the rights to free speech and open discourse as well as the right to protest." Still not seeing a First Amendment issue.
If they would protect a progressive's right to speak but not that of a libertarian or conservative, isn't that content-based discrimination?
"They" being the administration? I've seen no indication that they've taken steps to silence the students when progressives speak.
I'm so looking forward to reading an explanation of why heckling is 'morally wrong' because until now I would have thought that was a ridiculous thing to claim
