Subject: Wellesley students advocate hostility on campuses to silence conservative ‘hate speech’

Conservatives have come to expect that they might be protested, ridiculed and dis-invited when they venture to speak on college campuses, but the penalty for telling students something they disagree with has taken a more violent turn.

Buttressed by an ideology that views “hate speech” as violence and its suppression as self-defense, students increasingly are resorting to the destruction of property and assault to keep conservative speakers quiet.

Students at Wellesley College made the intellectual case for using force to stifle free speech in an editorial last week, arguing that “hostility may be warranted” against people who are “given the resources to learn” yet “refuse to adapt their beliefs.”

“If people continue to support racist politicians or pay for speakers that prop up speech that will lead to the harm of others,” the students wrote in the April 12 editorial in The Wellesley News, “then it is critical to take the appropriate measures to hold them accountable for their actions.”

Knowing that this is Hillary's alma mater, it figures that anything done by its graduates is okay with the current crop, even years of murder and treachery.

These Colleges that allow Constitutional violations is no better than sanctuary Municipalities / States. These Colleges should not get tax dollars including Federal student loans. All tax dollars should be prohibited from going to sanctuary Cities / States and these Colleges. Then lets see their state of mind for free speech allowed / Constitutional rights for all then. This fits the criteria.
