An interesting article on line charts the fairly recent rise of college students agitating for protection from free speech. This theme echoes an Atlantic article of earlier this year which reported much the same thing: students organizing against upsetting speech, texts, and teachers. While the current article referenced may be somewhat overdrawn, the issue is one of importance -- and concern.
Finding the right balance between freedom of speech and respect is hard. The fact that it is difficult is one reason democracies have had such a difficult time. Just witness the Trump vs. the World drama now gripping the Republican Party.
At any rate, the article is well worth reading:
