Give me a break. It's the left that's always attacking free speech and they are also to blame for this PC culture we're stuck in. It is because of the left we have terms such as "hate speech" and why everyone is so easily offended by everything. Why would Trump want it abolished? It's because of this freedom he's allowed to use Twitter as he does. Side: Exchange ideas freely.

No it's not dead. In the instance given it was with Ben Shapiro who says A LOT of things that people don't want to hear yet aren't always wrong. I think those college kids were being a bit of a baby by trying to deny people access who wanted to see him. These are the same people that want safe spaces....at some point they are going to have to figure out that no one gives a damn what offends them, that's the real world, don't like it? Move along. You have the right to say whatever you want but expect that not everyone will agree....also don't expect you will have no repercussion if you take that right too far, such as saying you'll kill someone. Side: Exchange ideas freely.
The purpose of the debate is to discuss the campus environment you described. It may be that no one truly cares about what offends college kids, but that's why they are protesting right now. The Shapiro example was meant to be an example of what is increasingly common. The the wrong ideas are not aloud to be expressed in the institutions that are meant to exchange ideas. Side: You can't ask that question.
