In the aftermath of a raucous protest that shut down conservative author Heather Mac Donald’s recent lecture at Claremont McKenna College, Pomona College President David Oxtoby sent students an email reaffirming the school’s commitment to free speech. That message did not resonate with several students who drafted a letter calling on Oxtoby to apologize, further demanding the university “take action” against students involved with the Claremont Independent, a campus newspaper.

The letter, authored and co-signed by 25 students, is stuffed with more progressive buzzwords than you probably knew existed, awkwardly cobbling them together in a sad attempt to question the value of free speech.
