CNN's Sally Kohn: It's 'good' if conservatives feel unable to speak on campus
Bizpac Review ^ | September 17, 2016 | Blake Neff

Posted on 09/17/2016 1:01:19 PM PDT by kevcol

When Powers argued that speech should be protected because by itself it is never dangerous, Kohn countered by saying Powers failed to recognize her white privilege. Speech that seems harmless to middle or upper-class whites, she said, could be deeply threatening to poor and non-white communities. If somebody claims to feel certain speech is unsafe, Kohn said, they should be believed.

"Feelings are valid," she said, according to Stroup. "I'm never going to argue with people's feelings." Kohn also said it's a good thing if conservatives feel unable to express their views for fear of encountering hostility from their peers or professors.

Exactly.

Good for the goose but NOT for the gander. (Or maybe vice versa). (Is it OK for animals to have gender in our brave new world?).

Ah, but they can get integrity when they want it.

Now we would need to have transgendered ganders, or something like that.

Lesbos like her think they can suppress people from speaking their minds. She can take her behind to North Korea for all I care. She can shove her lesbo ness somewhere else.

Progressives such as Kohn seek to stop freedom of speech.
They will cloak it with terms such as “stopping hate” but it really is nothing more than censorship in the public realm. Restrictions are already fully in place in Canada and most of Western Europe.

Unfortunately, she is not alone. Consider all of the campus speech codes and “safe spaces.”

That is called “censorship”-and that is what that statist loon is promoting-it is unconstitutional to shut up those with a differing opinion-just ignore the silly bitch-if Trump gets in office, her 15 minutes will be over because far fewer people will care what she says...

I am sure this applies to incessant repeating of incendiary lies about police actions. /s

For pete’s sake. We have free speech in this country and I’m sick and tired of communists trying to claim we don’t. If they don’t like it, get out.

This is how it works in North Korea. Conservatives need to start getting out of their “comfort zone” and start to speak up even when it may be uncomfortable to do so.

She can FOAD.
