The Leftists going nuts over #TheChalkening really need to chillax and remember the benefits of free speech. …
Free speech is important on college campuses, even if it’s promoting something I personally disagree with. College is supposed to prepare students for “real life,” meaning they’ll face challenging and uncomfortable situations. There’s no reason to create a “safe space” for students because life isn’t a safe space. The best way for students to respond to #TheChalkening is to either come up with their own version of it or just ignore it. Trying to stamp out free speech doesn’t work and it’s disgusting to see students try to get others silenced.
