We don't live in a free country, but a land that is increasingly menaced by an oligarchy funding democratic socialist (soviet) causes. For this reason the US seems head for a split. When all taxpayers fund Public Universities with taxpayer money, this does not conote that. University administrators get to over ride the US Bill of Rights.
No magic rules for progressives, alone.

You would have heard far less complaints if it were right-wing political correctness. There would certainly be some complaints from left-wing activists, but far less from the political establishment, it would not be a big talking point. When the issue would come up, you would hear people like spudboy point out that if you don't like what the universities are doing, then because we live in a free country, you are free to start your own university.
