Any time a liberal group or a government or a college/university says this: “We believe strongly in freedom of speech and freedom to express unpopular, and even offensive, views,” you know in your commonsense mind this will follow: “However, unnecessarily divisive, counterproductive, and even hateful speech runs contrary to our mission and the environment we wish to foster…”
That’s right. We believe in freedom of speech … Except when we disagree with what was said or what might be said.
