Political Post

I'm responding to "The Real Lessons of Middlebury College," written by Thomas Sowell, an African American conservative columnist. In his article, he writes of the riots at Middlebury College, where the student body protested a speech that was to be given by Charles Murray, a libertarian conservative political scientist. These violent protests injured a woman that was a part of the faculty. One of Sowell's main points is that none of the slogans or signs that the students were carrying represented a single candid word out of any of Murray's books.

Honestly, this rioting and prevention of speeches by liberal students is out of hand. One can simply look on Youtube and find a video where a so-called "Social Justice Warrior" is repressing someone's freedom of speech by shouting over them, physically preventing them from speaking, or otherwise distracting the attention of the desired audience. This is similar to the protests at UC Berkeley when the student body forcefully protested and rioted against the speaking of Milo Yiannopoulos due to the fact that he supported Donald Trump in the recent election.

This source is from "Town Hall" I used this source because it is reliable, and it has many conservative columnists. I chose this article because it was on a particularly controversial article.
