Did you watch the videos? Read the articles? The wild screaming, incoherent rage and hate expressed in response to a thoughtful, respectful email from one of their /professors/? The incredulity that he dare have a different opinion, and the deep need to punish him for it?

There's a strong need for students to be able to experiment and express themselves and say what they feel and think without being abused and crucified. Similarly with professors. There's a certain respect for thought that is inherent to a healthy academic culture. The left (of which I am very much a part) used to defend it vigorously, now I find we are the ones trying to destroy it.
