Same thing the far left does on college campuses. They just do it under the guise of victimhood with terms like "assault" being used to describe someone speaking an unpopular opinion. If the school book wars said the kids were "assaulted" by this "hate speech" would that make it okay? Is that what they are missing is someone feigning victimhood?

False equivalence - I don't see lefty culture warriors burning books/removing them from libraries.

They are fighting to get different books (less Eurocentric, for the most part) into the curriculum, but they're not removing them from the library.

I can't think of any explicitly right wing books that are even in libraries anyway.

Is this comment sarcastic?

Speaking an unpopular opinion on campus might mean you hear other people saying things that you don't like, as well?

In what way do you consider this similar to laws enforced by courts and police and the full legal system?
