Liberty is never harmed when dissenting views however idiotic and self-serving) are suppressed. If the historical validity of the Holocaust is so delicate that is may not be questioned then its validity IS questionable. There is no such thing as "hate speech". It cannot be rigorously defined. If a thing admits of no rigorous, objective definition, then it is merely a subjective judgement call and liberty must <b>NEVER</b> be held hostage to any individual's judgement.

The last thing most Unis want is their students to be able to think critically. Better that they simply accept the Uni talking points - about EVERYTHING.Stan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431525171296921684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-73100831437277664732017-04-27T19:35:56.619+12:002017-04-27T19:35:56.619+12:00I am much more concerned at the reaction of these ...I am much more concerned at the reaction of these universities than by the flyers.<br />Confrontational - even radical views - BELONG on University campuses.<br />Denying the right of such views to be aired should be anathema to these places.<br />And the tone of wanting to ensure students are not exposed to such unpopular views for fear they might be OFFENDED is risible.<br />If they were loony left posters no doubt the University would have risen to the free speech challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-28408062415583815592017-04-27T04:50:01.923+12:002017-04-27T04:50:01.923+12:00Those who fail to learn from history are doomed t...Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat itSpurwing Plover the fighting shorebirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-80160612330567997162017-04-27T03:57:10.396+12:002017-04-27T03:57:10.396+12:00These flyers are part of a larger effort by social...These flyers are part of a larger effort by socialist belonging affiliated with student unions. Why are our university students treated like kindergarten children? Perhaps it is because they have been led by socialist teachers/lecturers/professors since they were children. It is time to end the politics of the student unions once and for all. They should be an assistance to students not political force that controls students. De-politicise the student unions now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-70377847278366967732017-04-27T03:04:33.378+12:002017-04-27T03:04:33.378+12:00Why is the "Holocaust" only about Jews, ...Why is the "Holocaust" only about Jews, and therefore the denial is "anti-Semitic"? Many other social groups were persecuted and sent to concentration camps - gypsies, Jehova Witnesses, communists, socialists, trade-unionists, male and female homosexuals, disapproved artists of any sort, or anyone else who seemed deviant to the Nazi regime. So, it could just as well be called "anti-Romany" or "homophobic", etc., as anti-Semitic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
