I'm going to rant. This is a warning. Sometimes I can't read the news because it just makes me angry. Today was one of those days.
It is ridiculous that America has come to this. This nation was built on being the land of the free and a place to openly voice opinions. And this is diminishing. I just read a story on Fox News (yes, I know many people don't think Fox News is accurate, but that's just because they're not afraid to cover risky topics) about the University of Kansas. There was a transgender student who believed she has been discriminated against based on her sexual orientation. In response to a video that was posted, students held "safe places" to discuss both sides of the issue. The meeting was invaded by "social justice workers", verbally abusing the students, calling them racist and white supremacists.
First of all, the students were holding a discussion based on sexual orientation, not race. The protesters were just wrong. Second of all, everyone should have the right to politely and respectfully voice their opinions everywhere they go, especially on a public college campus. It's very sad. Colleges' are meant to be the places where change starts, but how can that happen if students are denounced for voicing their opinions?
