"Free speech" is code word for hate speech. 

I remember back when I still believed hate speech should be protected a few years ago. Glad I got educated.

Disgusting.

In what way is it not protected? Just because colleges don't choose to spend money on officially sponsoring speakers they don't find academically worthy of their time or money? I'm pretty sure that Jesus freak who stands on a little apple box and yells about how we are all going to hell is still hanging out down by the Arts center at my college... no officials are trying to stop him. He does consistently have counter-protesters around him, some serious, some just to troll and make jokes. But that is their free speech right as well, to seriously protest him or mock him.

I figured. It'll probably be something like "If those athletes can kneel, why can't these fine people march with their torches and pretty red flags?"

Hate speech isn't free speech. It incites violence and oppression. It's dangerous and shouldn't be protected.

Colleges should encourage debate with dissenting opinions anyway.   students need to learn to engage with all viewpoints, even those they don't like.

Personally, I will trust the justices over the justice warriors.

Does Canada have a U.S.-esque supreme court?

Spoiler

That's your choice though, I guess
