No doubt about that. Libs once labeled non-PC ideas as merely stupid or backward. Now they see these ideas as "hate speech" that must be outlawed.
This is a very, very troubling trend. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Emory's president was brought before Emory's board of directors to explain his "insensitive" defense of free speech.
Self-censorship will soon be the norm in this country, so I've updated an old Soviet joke:
Reporter: What's your opinion on hate speech laws?
American: I agree with the current PC position.
Reporter: What's your opinion on immigration?
American: I agree with the current PC position.
Reporter: Don't you have any opinions of your own?
American: Yes, but I don't agree with them.
Good one!
