Tufts Student Govt Rejects Free Speech Resolution as ‘Unsafe’

The Tufts University student government has overwhelmingly rejected a resolution to broaden free-speech protections on campus, with some student leaders denouncing the measure as an “unsafe” act that “actually really harms students.”
The resolution from Tufts student Jake Goldberg had called for adding clarifications to the university’s speech guidelines, which have earned Tufts a “red light” rating from the free-speech advocacy group FIRE.
The resolution took aim at the university’s vague administrative prohibitions against “inappropriate language,” “gender bias,” “hurtful words,” and “comments on an individual’s body or appearance,” among other examples cited in the measure.

The last portion of this is “By passing this resolution, we [would be] making more students feel unsafe on a campus they already might not feel safe,” he said.

That's right, free speech, the primary pillar of the US Constitution, of which most of our freedoms in America are based..... is rejected by Tufts University Student government as being "unsafe". If this doesn't give people of all political views pause, it should.
