Arrogant University of Utah Leftists

A defender of their "hate-speech" rules admits:

The U's rules prohibiting "hate speech" may be "by the letter of the law" unconstitutional, but it's hardly in students' best interests to have anybody fight on this account."

So illegality and disrespect for acknowledged rights is fine! Great lessons the kids learn there! Apparently, what a Leftist decides is "in students' best interests" is all that counts. Stalin and Hitler would agree.

So what happens when somebody's free-speech rights are violated by the university?

it seems that students meet with administrators and discuss other courses of action and alternative ways of thinking before leaving on amicable terms without any punitive measures being taken

In other words, university administrators threaten the students concerned unless they adopt "alternative ways of thinking" and the students so far have always put up with it for the sake of avoiding punishments that would harm their careers. Very Soviet!

Update:

American Pundit has some good points about the complacent Leftist editorial above too.
