That talk with my dad about the Milo Yiannopoulos thing at Berkeley

My dad was a campus activist back in the 60s and he told me they used to let anyone speak, even the Klan. Said the whole point was to argue back, not shut them down. Made me wonder if we lost something along the way. Anyone else feeling that tension?

Read that too. Free speech dies when people stop talking back.

My grandad said the same thing, arguing back is how you win people over.
