I wish our institutions of higher learning were just that - institutions of higher learning - not laboratories conducting experiments on young people to see how best to turn them into mindless leftists via Marxist Critical Theory.
If a university student needs counseling because of a free speech event, and the university unashamedly offers them such resources, we should all be very skeptical of these students as well as their institutions.
Some people have noted that a university education is the new high school diploma. When something like 40% of young people go to college they mathematically just can’t represent themselves as anything other than a walking mediocrity. And sure enough, a new study pointing out that university students have IQs matching that of the general population has drawn the ire of those individuals who lack the ability to produce anything of value to society, but derive some form of status from their credentials.
Great meme, Gatito. When we were children, in the 1940's, We memorised a bucket-full of common sense aphorisms (like the Golden Rule). Another was "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names (words) can never hurt me". I do remember however that certain words could result in my mother "washing my mouth out" with a bar of LAVA soap, if I was to utter them. We noticed that she never applied the oral-cleanse ritual to my father....an application of common sense on her part. The First Amendment became fully operational in our family only upon attaining adulthood.
This is a road that never ends. They will never stop finding something to be offended by. The best solution is to not participate in their delusions. Our universities have obviously become Centers of Indoctrination. Without freedom of speech, they will turn out automotons, not critical thinkers. But I guess that's the entire point. The Party is always right. And don't you dare question and try to debate that fact. You'll be canceled, banned, fined and called a bigot or the black face of white supremacy (apologies to Larry Elder).
I'll say it again;
The day before the day that someone dreamed up participation trophies was the zenith of America.
And here we are at the nadir...merely 2 generations after that fateful day...

LMAO! Students should not be allowed out without their thinking brain dogs.....
Purrrrfect!
Excellent signs and meme, thanks for sharing!
Oh big cat!
Maybe there is hope after all.
And even in Colorado. 🤣
Thanks for the encouragement today.
Well said. The CSU Vice President for Inclusive Excellence surely has much more important matters to attend to.
Any employer should ask “have you ever been negatively affected by a free speech event?”
I’ve said this often: Make common sense common again. It would make a great T shirt/hat etc.

The more common something is, the less its value.
So by the logic and ethics of capitalism, common sense lack value.
"Affected by a free speech event on campus" - Oh no, I may actually hear ideas that I disagree with!
2 decades ago, this would have been a comedy routine.
