Thank you for standing up for real free speech

The abuse and intolerance suffered by spokespersons of viewpoints other than those now being vocalized by college teachers is a real danger to us all. I cite in particular the abuse suffered by Daniel Pipes and Benjamin Netanyahu. I cite the complete freedom of speech enjoyed by Hanan Ashrawi while those not in agreement are physically threatened and for "the sake of safety" their talks are cancelled. Physical violence is now becoming a regular occurrence. Please continue to fight this intolerance.
