The shift in my campus free speech club after the 2023 speaker series
I run a small free speech club at Ohio State, and back in 2023 we had three outside speakers with pretty controversial views. Back then, people showed up to argue, ask hard questions, and actually engage, even if they hated the speaker. Fast forward to last semester, and we had a professor get shouted down for 15 minutes before a moderator stepped in, so why did we go from debate to disruption in just two years?

Did you ever think shutting down a speaker was standing up for something, cause two years back I thought that too but now I get it's just silencing people?
