    It’s amazing how much scrutiny you’re willing to apply to things when they don’t agree with your preconceived notions.

    I don't doubt there are instances of leftist speech being infringed on at universities, but most universities being left leaning to far left wing, the bulk of the infringements are directed at people who have viewpoints that fall outside the accepted dogma of the left. To claim that it's mostly left wing viewpoints that are being silenced is beyond the pale. It's a narrative that just doesn't fit the evidence. You don't see leftist speakers being shouted down, banned from speaking or facing blackshirt anti fascist rioters trying to shut them down. That's all left wing shit. Seems to me it's exactly the kind of shit they claim to be against.
    The report offers good evidence. Yours is anecdotal.

    “Fascist rioters”. Someone was murdered at the Charlottesville white supremacy rally. You don’t give a fuck. You literally only want to hear what you agree with and you dismiss anything else.

    The antifa blackshirts are similar to Hitler's brownshirts, a bunch of dumb ignorant thugs who go around bashing and trying to silence anyone who doesn't agree with their shitty point of view. There is no comparable organized white supremacist movement going around trying to shut everyone up. If there were, I would oppose it. What's happening on the far left resembles the far right fascism they claim to be fighting against. They've created a false narrative of white supremacy and use it to justify their movement.

    First the left was a bunch of soy boy cucks and now they’re terrorist thugs. From one bullshit point to the next without a second thought. The Stu Gotz is strong in you.

    That’s like saying more white people get arrested than black people. That is factually true if you look at raw data. That’s different than looking at the percentage of whites vs the percentage of blacks. I’d like to know what percentage of liberal speech gets negatively impacted vs conservative speech? I bet you the percentages would flip the other way.

    It’s easy to make data go in your favor.

    Nega, please. Sample size of 90. 4500 schools.

    How many of those 90 incidents were lefties employed by private schools with religious beliefs?

    Vs. how many of those 90 incidents were at state schools?

    I expect more from APAG. Quite sad how far he’s fallen. This is Hondo/Sledog garbage.

    APAG going HondoFS in this thread...

    What.... Presenting facts and making conservatives squirm cause it's against their preconceived notions?
