The outrage of the past week among liberal commentators was that conservative op-ed writers at the New York Times were writing about college progressives’ antipathy toward free speech.

Students at Lewis & Clark College earlier this month tried to stop conservative feminist Christina Hoff Sommers from speaking to a conservative campus group, calling her a “known fascist.” “Freedom of speech is certainly an important tenet to a free, healthy society,” students wrote, “but that freedom stops when it has a negative and violent impact on other individuals.”
