But if they mean conservative is anti race mixing, gas all the Jewish people and let's incite a race war. then that probably is not appropriate and I think. A college should. Be able to tell those people to go frick themselves



Firstly, anyone espousing those views would not be invited to speak. Secondly, unpopular speech and speech that falls outside the Overton Window is the most in need of protection. I fundamentally disagree with anyone who believes free speech should have any qualifiers and that censorship is ever justified.

Honestly, I don't respect the opinion of people who say "I support free speech but not for X." If you're in favor of censorship, at least own your position. Don't do some Orwellian "all speech is free but some speech is freer than others" nonsense.
