Hundreds of campuses encourage students to turn in fellow students for offensive speech
By Adam Steinbaugh • 2/21/17 7:00 PM

Universities are the cradle of free speech, where ideologies and ideas clash, where academics and activists can agree, disagree, or be disagreeable. This is particularly true in the United States, where the First Amendment zealously guards against government surveillance and intrusion into free speech.

Yet at hundreds of campuses across the country, administrators encourage students to report one another, or their professors, for speech protected by the First Amendment, or even mere political disagreements. The so-called "Bias Response Teams" reviewing these (often anonymous) reports typically include police officers, student conduct administrators and public relations staff who scrutinize the speech of activists and academics.

Unless, of course, you are offended by phrases like...

"It's not a human being - it's just a blob of cells."

"Your traditional view on marriage makes you a bigot."

"All white people are inherently racist."

"The is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet, infidel."

"Conservatives are just modern day Nazis."

"Black power!"

"Viva la raza!"

"Only psychopaths like guns."

"In a country as rich as ours, you should be willing to pay more so Sandy can get the health care she requires due to lifestyle choices she has made."

And so forth and so on...

These are all fine and will not be investigated.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!
