Would Students be Better Off If They Remained Completely Silent on College Campuses?

Inasmuch as free speech/expression is clearly dead in America's institutions of higher indoctrination, wouldn't it be better if an aspiring graduate remained completely silent for the four-plus years it takes to earn a sheepskin?

UNL students restricted by new ‘respect’ policy

"[...] Green’s comments come as Christianity and conservatism — even support of Donald Trump — is accused of being intolerant, hateful and racist on campuses nationwide.

Green did not define, neither in his speech or the written policy underscoring it, what an action of disrespect might be, leaving it widely open to interpretation. The vague set of beliefs also comes a time when accusations of microaggressions, or unintentional slights some interpret as racist acts, have a vice grip on universities."

    The President has a job to do and it is to set up a leaning environment. This is exactly what he is trying to do, by setting a business decorum for a place of business. All companies do that. Student today pay lots of money to go to school. They deserve to get the best treatment and education the schools offer.

    Good for him!

    Oh, he spells it out alright.  He just doesn't define it.  Today it's the "right-wing nutjobs on the chopping block. Tomorrow it's folks just like you.

    Absolutely!  No more free thought, and no more of the free expression that comes with it!  From now on let's have a vow of silence as a prerequisite for admission to Rutgers!

    I think you're onto something with this business analogy.  We can't have people thinking outside of the official box.
