I just . . . I mean, I like it, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to see what it turns into before getting all excited. Like, is this person going to leave the school or get ousted? Does UM take a stronger stance? Do alumni/donors get involved and push for change? I want to see this turn into anything beyond a gesture before starting to get happy about it.
Young people give me hope that all is not yet lost in this country.
Many young people I should say - not all. Those salivating over trump and DeSantis this past week - yikes. Free speech and freedom to believe what you want are extremely important but I hope none of that group ever end up in office. Any office.
I think the point made here is that the university choose to give the microphone to someone who has clearly spoken up against what policies the university claims to hold dear.
You can and if you disagree with it, should. My take on the scenario written about - and any like it - is that when a person who has personal beliefs that are different than the ones the university/company/group claim to uphold, and especially when they have said so in public form, they should not be invited to speak for that university/company/group.
There is no room for anti-choicers in healthcare.

May free speech reign and may the right to walk away from speech you rather not listen to reign too!

Oh. I thought the point was you can walk away from speech you rather not hear.
