Ann Coulter and Berkeley

Censorship is based on fear. When the right tries to censor you from reading something, it's based on fear that you might learn something that they don't agree with. When the left tries to censor something, it's based on fear that you might learn something they don't agree with. When a church tells you not to read something (surprise!) it's based on fear that you might learn something they don't agree with. Sorry to be redundant. 

It's Berkeley, so I don't expect cogent thought and freedom. The "adults" (and I use that term very, very, very loosely) who go there are too fragile to hear any opinion other than their own. Although most students there consider themselves free thinkers and open minded, they are as close minded as rock ribbed fundamentalist religious people. Do I blame millennials? Of course not, Berkeley was always a pinnacle of oppression. Unless you are a radical (and even liberals would be uncomfortable there. Berkeley is hardcore, insanely left wing. Almost to the point of parody) who already swallows the Kool-Aid, you have no business being there or going to college there.

Ann Coutler is without question the most obnoxious commentator alive. Ironically both her and the Berkeley students have a lot in common-they are both extremes that most rational and normal people do their best to avoid associating with. A good rule of thumb-if you find yourself agreeing with the zealots of Berkeley or Ann Coutler and her followers-it's time to rethink your life.  

Here's the thing though- she has every right to speak. If you dislike what she says, you need to be mature enough to either ignore it or argue against it. If you can't handle those two things, it's time to grow up or give up.
