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.

Kind of odd for a man to be named Sally.

Excuse me if I do not pay any attention to what someone with a serious mental disorder has to say.

I will continue to say what I want, when I want.

If someone does not like it, they can get out of range.

CNN should lose their broadcasting license. Hopefully President Trump will see to it - along with the permanent defunding of the abhorrent NPR.

...deeply threatening to poor and non-white communities.

I'd love to turn her loose on the streets of Philly so she can find out who is threatening whom. (I welcome grammatical input.)

Agree on both points, but cable networks don’t need broadcast licenses, if I’m not mistaken.

I wish Sally would buy a condo in Saudi Arabia and make commentary from there. Actually, she’s one of the few good reasons out there for a burka.

In a just world she would have her mouth washed out with soap and be put on a plane to Afghanistan.
