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

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.
-
Eugene's post specifically asked about that.

Right, but from all indications the administration has been laissez-faire regardless of who was speaking. That's not a First Amendment issue. Also, as to Reason themselves, they've been deliberately obtuse:https://twitter.com/reason/status/981990869862510592 …
