But Astrid added that "hate speech should definitely at least be monitored" on campus.

I’m sure Columbia is also ranked the #1 university in America in the category of Jew hating.

"People should just be more careful about what they say," he added.

ANY view that opposes the approved narrative of the day is “hate speech”.

That school evidently doesn’t offer a course on self-awareness.

Hmm...speech is free but you better be careful what you say? Sure, kid.

I think that there is definitely a homogenous point of view at school...

I think there is too, rigidly enforced by people who think labeling free speech as hate speech makes it subject to suppression. It means that fascists can still both deny being fascists and embrace it proudly.

“I think everyone here is very open-minded, and so I’m not really sure where that’s coming from,” one student told Fox News.”

So, “one student” is a leftist who oppresses others and thinks that is as it should be.

When about 90-95% of the staff/professors are of the progressive variety, then it stands to reason that the students wouldn’t be able to tell that they are pretty bad in tolerance of free speech. It’s like living in a bubble, where everything outside is strange to the bubble dwellers.

Most liberals never make an attempt to understand how they could be wrong about almost everything they believe.

A freshman, Aarush, told Fox News, “... hate speech is unacceptable”

Indeed these campus Karen lefties define hate-speech as...

ANY form of speech... be it as an expression as a graphic, meme, or targeted publication; in the context of a joke, comment, open thought/debate, or personal opinion; that doesn’t praise, support or advance their leftist political thought, agenda or views... Is considered “hate speech and fascist.”

In other words... you can’t argue with Marxist idiots, programmed zombies or any of the offended leftist children.

Liberals are extremely tolerant of voices they agree with.

Numerous other students Fox News spoke with similarly considered Columbia open-minded and tolerant but said hate speech should not be allowed.

Nope, no such thing as "hate speech."

There is only a differing opinion which the "open-minded" little progs hate and actively silence or censor.

That makes THEM the haters.

Idiot children have no idea about the range of thought in the outside world. They really think they support free speech because they don’t know what they are oppressing.

Astrid, a senior, told Fox News. “I don’t think that I’ve personally experienced or witnessed the suppression of free speech at Columbia.”

Naturally, in fact Astrid, there have probably been zero speakers with conservative viewpoints scheduled to speak there. Now why may that be?

From the article:"I think everyone here is very open-minded, and so I'm not really sure where that's coming from," one student told Fox News.

That's the problem with the Left in a nutshell. Their mental defect prevents them from seeing what's right in front of them.

It's Dunning-Kruger on display. Worse, it's Dunning-Kruger as part of a school's recruiting program. They don't want someone who sees and thinks because they'll go somewhere else and learn something.

Schools like Columbia are where the mentally defective go to legitimize their deficient thinking.

The student comments show just how clueless they are about free speech.

I visited the campus just before the lockdowns. I thought I was in Beijing.
