Althouse: "Muslim woman who voted for Trump asks Georgetown to intervene over professor’s ‘hateful, vulgar’ messages."

Academics don't care much for free speech when it involves having a conservative talk about second amendment rights or small government or criticism of the victim culture and social justice warriors, but if it involves a liberal professor spewing hate speech at a Trump voter, well then by God we must have unfettered free speech!

I think the Muslim woman had the right idea, though. Make the academics obey their own rules, like Saul Alinksi said.
