Is THIS free speech? Pro-Palestine protestors CLASH with police.

They're allowed to say what they want. They're not allowed to DO whatever they want.

I don't have any issue with people on either side of the conflict in Israel protesting and making their voices heard. Free speech is important. Where I draw the line is the threat of violence, intimidation, harassment of other students or staff and mobs invading lecture theatres preventing others from speaking. If you disagree with what someone is saying in a lecture/talk/presentation etc, speak up in a civil manner and don't use weight of numbers to shout other speakers down. That's mob rule. In terms of the tents, on a private university campus that's probably a trespassing issue.

Pink hair is gonna pink hair. You are 100% allowed to engage in civil disobedience, but part of civil disobedience is facing the legal consequence of your disobedience.

If its public property they have the right to protest. If its not and the owner tells you to leave, then you either leave by choice or in handcuffs. Its that simple 🤷‍♂️

Your "right to free speech" gets no defense from me when you actively silence the opposing opinion and cause violence.

It’s free speech for themselves, a gag for everyone else, as it has been for sixty years. 😊

Is it free speech yes, it’s also trespassing so off to jail

It's not all gloom & doom for students protesting at US campuses... The president of Iran's Shahid Beheshti University, Mahmoud Aghamiri, announced that "We will accept students expelled from Western universities and scholarships would be offered to American and European students" expelled for supporting Palestine. The scholarships would reportedly cover tuition and housing... for completing their courses at Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran.

Freedom of Speech and the right to peaceably assemble are two entirely separate rights. Preventing a group of people from camping on private property is, in no way, a free speech issue. It's a property rights issue.

Moral relativism comes from the postmodern abandonment of the pursuit of truth. That’s where wokeism/intersectionality comes from. There’s your line.

If you're going to rant about how it's not about Marcuse, Foucault, or postmodernism, you should tell us what you think it is about or at least explain why you think its not. Otherwise I'm not sure what you're expecting we should take away from that.

The devil controls the Internet

restricted speech on public property is despotic.

lmao this man’s Bandaid is ridiculous

A fan of post modernist thinking cant see the connection. Would you want to anyway?

Yes it is.. not that have any real opinion on the actual protests. But being removed is also ok it’s not an infringement on your free speech. Preventing you from speaking out is.

It always first and foremost a property rights issues. What do we do with the commons? Here’s an idea - schools are buildings for teaching, roads are throughways for driving, etc. Maybe we need to reconsider this idea that people can disrupt public life whenever they demand attention.

👍

Do not ask what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do for Israel.

Its not free speech to be such a huge disruption like this and destroy property
