The sorry state of higher education

Ann Coulter's speech at UConn was disrupted by loud music, jeering and yelling by student hecklers. She elected to do a question and answer period after she couldn't continue, asserting that "I love to engage in repartee with people that are a lot stupider than I am," link

The fact that free speech is dead in academia is sad and pathetic, but what is more disturbing is this quote from Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore, who is studying the demanding social science of social welfare as well as being the head of a group called "Students Against Hate". The well indoctrinated Eric didn't attend the speech, but had this to say; "We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate speech". Eric is SO smart that he doesn't even have to hear what someone talked about to know what it is.

By the way, if I call Eric's comments idiotic, infantile and stupid, is that hate speech or the truth?
