(15,316 posts)Why do you think colleges reject them? There is a reason, and colleges should absolutely be allowed to do so. Allowing hate speakers to have free reign over colleges and taking away the ability for colleges to reject them will shut out college as an opportunity for many students. It will be just one more area where they are subjected to the same repression they are everywhere else. College is one area that can afford everyone economic and social mobility but it won't be able to do so effectively if it becomes just one more institution where the privileged reign supreme. Hate speech is just one tool that ensures this happens. It's the reason hate speakers are targeting it specifically. They know what they are doing. And they're unfortunately getting the help of some people who should absolutely know better. It's shameful.
