 The crushing cost of violent protests on campus
October 23, 2017
 

The growing opposition to free speech on campuses across the country is, from a political and philosophical perspective, alarming enough. Yet the price tag for that opposition carries its own problems: schools are shelling out hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover the security and related fees of controversial speaking events.

As Douglas Belkin writes at The Wall Street Journal, a recent appearance at Florida State University by white nationalist Richard Spencer may end up costing the school more than half a million dollars, “more than it pays for football games at a stadium that holds 90,000 people.” That enormous price tag “will cover the hundreds of officers on campus from at least 44 agencies, some from as far away as Miami, command centers, technology, room and board for officers and extra barricades.”

This is giving schools a credible reason to stomp on the rights of right-of-center people to speak on campus, while giving  a free pass to leftists.  This is using threats of violence to suppress speech, and there is a name for it:  "The Heckler's Veto."  It's going on now, in living color, sponsored by Antifa and assisted by University Administrations everywhere.
