This is the result of the first amendment being attacked. It started a few years ago in College Campuses and is picking up momentum in all areas of society.
Congress shall make no law respecting …….
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech
Anti-first amendment- anti-free speech activities started in College
Campuses. Administrative cowardice bred the ideology that provided the
impetus to physical violence instead of healthy debate.

To understand what is happening, it’s necessary to explore
the ideology that provides the impetus for a lot of the protestors who
violently obstruct debates, assault speakers, students and professors.
Also we need to understand why professors are not stepping
up and stopping these students who are engaged in these types of violent
actions in order to stop speakers who try to convey an idea that does not align
with their views.
Here is one argument that the advocates of violence and anti-free
speech make.
A: the validity or invalidity of an argument can be judge
solely by the ethic, sexual racial or culture identity of the person making the
argument.
For example the reasoning is that straight white Americans
are inheritably the beneficiaries of white privilege and therefore cannot speak
on certain policies, since they have not experience what it is like to be
black, Hispanic, transgender, gay or a woman.
This philosophy ranks the value of the view, not base on the
logic or merit of the view, but on the level of victimization in American
Society experienced by the person exposing the view.
Therefore if you are a
LGBT black woman, your view of American Society is automatically more valuable
that a straight white male.
Any argument that attacks this philosophy is considered
micro-aggression and should be immediately stopped even if it includes violence
to stop such speech.

This destroys Free Speech!
Also it turns students into snowflakes and pathetic, looking
for an excuse to be offended.
A healthy nation requires an emotional and intellectually vigorous
population ready to engage in open debate at all times. Shielding college
students from opposing viewpoints make them weaker and more dangerous and
laying a fertile ground for a civil war.
All of our views should be judged on their merits and not on
the color, sex, or sexual orientation of the speaker,
And those views should never be banned on the grounds that
THEY OFFEND SOMEONE
The first step to a civil war is an attack on Free speech
because it promotes violence instead of open debate.
