        How do you differentiate free speech from hate speech ? Seems obvious but that's a subjective matter isn't it ?

        Simple: Recognize the concept of "hate speech" for the Orwellian tool it is.

        Ceci's "recent research on bias and reasoning." That's rich. I spent years doing original research on the "case studies" in Ceci's book with Maggie Bruck and discovered serious bias, approaching academic fraud. See the entire chapter 5 for documentation:https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-witch-hunt-narrative-9780190465575?cc=us&lang=en& …

        Tell that to the colleges who have no problem banning people from speaking because of fear of violence. #LeftistCult

        @CHSommers Freshmen should take mandatory "Free Speech" seminars. Why not put those diversity staff members to good use? Task them with "protecting" diversity of viewpoints.

        "Free speech" offends me as both a Black man and as a Muslim. We will win since immigrants of color support us though, so it's only a matter of time before we repeal the First Amendment.
