Free Speech at Brown University: NOT

This timely tidbit from the Adam Brodsky in the New York Post:

Muslims are often accused of not speaking out sufficiently against terrorism. Nonie Darwish knows one reason why: Their fellow Muslims won't let them.

Darwish, who comes from Egypt and was born and raised a Muslim, was set to tell students at Brown University about the twisted hatred and radicalism she grew to despise in her own culture. A campus Jewish group, Hillel, had contacted her to speak there Thursday.

But the event was just called off.

Muslim students had complained that Darwish was "too controversial." They insisted she be denied a platform at Brown, and after contentious debate Hillel agreed.

Weird: No one had said boo about such Brown events as a patently anti-Israel "Palestinian Solidarity Week." But Hillel said her "offensive" statements about Islam "alarmed" the Muslim Student Association, and Hillel didn't want to upset its "beautiful relationship" with the Muslim community.

"Weird" is an understatement. Actually, it's pretty much the norm. If you're trashing Jews, Republicans, GW Bush, Amerikkka, or dead American and/or European white guys, then, de facto, you cannot be "offensive," "too controversial," or damage any number of "beautiful relationships" carefully nurtured on academic hypocrisy.

But if you're a Republican and/or conservative, if you hate Jews, Bush, Amerikkka, or dead American and/or European white guys, well then by all means continue to nurture your "beautiful relationships" with university sanctioned hate speech that can by no means be "offensive."

Kesher Talk has more, including YouTube clips of the speaker who's too dangerous and "offensive" for Brown University students to hear. Michelle Malkin has additional stuff. And PowerLine observes that:

"The boundaries of acceptable speech on university campuses continue to contract..."

Indeed they do. Particularly, these days, if you have a difference of opinion with adherents of the Religion of Peace (ROP).

You wonder sometimes if these academic dhimmis have any recollection at all of equality as practiced in George Orwell's "Animal Farm." Or if they've read it at all.
