So much for rightwing claims about oppression faced by them and their views on college campuses.

Why does that canard have such staying power?

The divergent responses have provided a stark illustration of what some critics say is a double standard that has emerged in the fraught campus free speech debates of recent years. That is, in the face of conservative outrage over controversial leftwing views, colleges are quick to condemn and censor. But when racism, hate speech and pro-fascist views emerge, university presidents regularly declare their unwavering commitment to free speech rights – no matter the content.

ETA: Although you don’t get to that bit until a bit later in the clip.

When a white student at California State University was caught this month wearing blackface, administrators had a clear message: it was racist, but “protected by free speech”.

Then on Wednesday, Randa Jarrar, a Muslim American writer and professor

Yeah. A muslim woman, instead of a white male. Also she was faculty, and he was a student. So there’s also the angle of incoming money vs. outgoing money for the school’s coffers.

Good point.

If college campuses were really anything like Marxist Indoctrination camps, Steven Salaita would occupy an endowed chair by now.
