I can't help but wonder how much good these meaning-seeking SJWs could have done had they focused their hours locally and actually helped someone.

And they did focus their time locally! They burned down 3 stores and a police station over George Floyd!

The abstract is appalling but the tweeter’s question ‘Will Biden Act?’ is a non-sequitur. Do we really want presidents to censor law review articles

You know, this is pretty mild compared to 1970.
I suspect many universities have no problem issuing permits.
Maybe they need to bring back something like Free Speech Alley that existed at LSU back in Carville's day. The alley was a space between two buildings, designated as a full free speech zone. As long as you didn't lay hands on somebody, scream in their face or use electronic sound enforcement, advocate for whatever you wanted. If you wanted to avoid the silliness, just avoid the area.

@Jolly I like it. Probably would require constant police on hand for inevitable physical altercations, but is a nice (real) example of free speech.... say what you want, just don't hurt someone physically (including excessive sound/visual weapons).
