Democrat On U.S. Civil Rights Comm. Wants Speech Codes For ‘Adolescent’ 21yo

[Wilikon]

A Democrat on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission has urged campus restrictions on First Amendment-protected speech because, he believes, the still-developing brains of college students cannot properly process certain dangerous ideas.

The civil rights commissioner is Michael Yaki, a former senior adviser to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The Washington Post’s Eugene Volokh was present at a commission on a briefing on sexual harassment law in education last week when Yaki made his bizarro comments.

The civil rights commissioner said he favors outlawing speech that would be grossly unpopular, such as “a slave auction at a fraternity engagement” or a celebration of Latino culture that involves “making everyone dress as janitors and mop floors.”

Yaki also wants to turn Miss America-type pageants into campus speech crimes. He expressed his belief in the unacceptable dangers of “a situation involving women” in which they “parade around in skimpy clothing and turn in some show or something.”

A young mind with no agenda is a terrible thing to waste

Will they provide cross guards at all intersections around the college campuses too?  Elementary and middle schools do that!

Goes to show that there's no tolerance in the minds of some of these diehard statist liberals. Isn't college or being of this age the time where people are supposed to go out and find themselves? Bottom line is colleges nowadays are there for breeding liberal minds and banning critical thinking. The good thing is that it's becoming apparent that there's really no purpose for going to college for most lines of work these days. Heck, there's really only so many jobs available to young people these days and all of them are low paying unless you're a pro at selling things or shaking your ass on stage.
