Tell that to the snowflakes on college campuses today.

David, Mannington

Well it used to be true.

E Archer, NYC

Authoritarians must control the dialogue in order to remain in the position of authority. Questioning authority used to be a hallmark of the liberal cause -- something's changed on college campuses today.

'Education' has become a massive labor racket only possible with 'loans' from the banking establishment which the government will cover. The result? Every graduating student has a debt the size of a house -- or what could buy one. And what to show for it? Substandard education, and a tenured unionized class that milks its customers (students) for everything they've got and for the next 15 years.

Differing points of view? Compulsion is the hallmark of the liberals, now.
