There is absolutely no way academia can advance these radical ideas without the support of the government and MSM . Keep in mind silence equates to acceptance.
Speak to the issues I raised. do you support academia's position of preventing freedom to speak to be limited to their agenda?
simply stated do you support freedom of speech for everyone? How do you view males in our society? do you believe that because a person disagrees with homosexuality or believes it is unnatural that anything they do or say should be marginalized and that they should be subjected to threats?
As the author of this article stated "should havard marginalize Oscar Wilde?" 
Speak to the issues addressed and stop the deflecting that progressive ploy is effectively dead.

I think on both sides of the political spectrum, including those on the fringes there is rational and irrational thoughts.
I am in no position to judge anyone, just offer my opinion.
I believe in freedom of speech but on all ends of the spectrum. I do not put conditioning words like "conservative" or "progressive" on those people.
Pretty much, this is old news. Having worked for both parties as well as in communities of minorities, trust me everyone has a case. Conservative academia has for years objected to liberal interference....liberal academia as you point out do the same. Why you think it is one way is because you feel somehow obligated to feel that way.
I hate, despise...and trust me it is tough for me to use those words....riots and such. However, having been on the other side of that...very close in years past...they feel as strongly about you.
I must add that BOTH are correct and BOTH are incorrect. Just as YOU stubbornly resist their views, they feel the same way as you.
Rubicon, you have been on this earth as long as me. You KNOW this is not new. The spreading of hate by both sides so easily IS NEW
These are anecdotal things you mention, and probably what prompts your admiration for Trump. Not the answer....manifestation of hate simply sees manifestation of hate. I know I sound like some sort of beatnik, and excuse me if I digress to our President. This is not how to solve problems, but we have a problem here. Your hate seems to be deep rooted...I got rid of it over time by working with those you hate.
I believe folks of age should try to douse that hate stuff and show the way. Trump has awakened that hate because folks of our age see changes....changes we have difficulty with. Remember when Elvis was on TV the first time....we were not allowed to see his entire body..it would somehow contaminate us.
Today, we are seeing even faster moving changes. As with the feelings conveyed to us about Elvis, the feelings we have about change today are not as bad we think it is.
People keep telling me on here to "chill" because of my feelings politically. I feel that all I can do is stay informed, and tell whomever will listen how I feel, BUT..BUT...
I cannot be hateful to so many fellow Americans who I do not know and have never met. I can object to our leader and do so, but I am at peace with not hating so many as you.
I know you do not consider yourself a radical, but you are...as radical to the right as those you speak of are to the left.
Will stop lecturing because I always give you hell for lecturing will cut it short. You need to look at things without labels...try to understand both sides before deciding.
My feelings on Trump are not emotional, and as I have said many times, I might be able to overlook his lack of morals if somehow he led, but he has not, shows no desires to do so.
To the point you made.....he promised to try and unite....he isn't even trying
Let's LISTEN without screening things through out built in filter. I do not want a filter any longer. I want to look at everyone as they are. I have personally experienced that....helps clear the head.
PS..I hate this post but leaving it. I will gladly speak to issues. I refuse to speak to little anecdotes that are simply out there to manifests negatives, and ignore any context. Life is simply not that simple.
