1 thought on “Brown University Student: Cancelling ‘American Sniper’ is ‘Perfectly Consistent with Freedom of Expression’

  1. I read Mr. Asker’s article and my first thought was:” This must be satire.” Nope. He evidently believes that preventing speech leads to free speech.
    One wonders how delicate and fragile the minds of college students must be if one movie will utterly brainwash them into submission.
    His argument is so contradictory and (in my opinion) foolish that it is hard to refute.
    Mr Asker evidently does not know that college is place where you should be exposed to all kinds of ideas and philosophies. Otherwise how is a person supposed to develop critical thinking skills?
    The good news is that if you read the comments following his editorial they are overwhelmingly opposed to his essay. So, it doesn’t look like too many folks agree with him.
    When I went to college in the dark ages we had all kinds of movies on campus. (Even some x rated ones). No one was forced to go. I assume (except for Liberty University) no college student is forced to see a movie today.
