Public debate and open discussion on college campuses remain essential, and conservatives should continue to engage in them despite the threat of violence.

“We're not going to be deterred. Charlie's voice is not silent. We're going to pick up that bloodstained microphone where Charlie left it.”

The primary issue on campuses is a refusal to accept the concept of free speech itself rather than just a disagreement over who is allowed to speak.

“there isn't a debate about who should speak on campuses there's a debate about whether free speech exists”

The logic behind hate speech laws is flawed because they criminalize feelings rather than actionable intent to cause violence.

“it's impossible to know what somebody's genuinely feeling unless they honestly tell you because a feeling is something that only that person has you can't you can't Crim you can't say that what what they're trying to do is they're trying to pin feelings”
