re: #513 Killgore Trout

I have very mixed feeling about their recommendations. I”m not a fan of “hate speech” bans but the problem is out of control. I think there are better solutions.

It’s a complicated mess for Cal, which is, I believe, why Yudof commissioned this report, and its companion piece. This isn’t campus policy, this is simply a set of recommendations, which doesn’t venture to go beyond posing some questions about what Cal considers acceptable.

The fact that JVP doesn’t even want it looked at is very telling of their general attitude.

Question for all: if there was a wingnut student group demanding that the report on the climate for Muslim students be put aside because even considering it would damage their ability to campaign against jihad on campus, how much sympathy would they deserve?
