That would depend on what you told us about what you experienced. I wouldn't dream of telling you "that wasn't a big deal" or the like unless I knew what "that" was.
Because I thought, silly me, that having brought your experiences into the discussion you might want to tell us more about them. But if you don't, that's your business.
Sadly, substantial numbers of people agree with that kind of sentiment in general, and always have agreed with it. Our modern notion of free speech is a relatively recent legal development and not especially popular.
I'm not sure about that. I'm older than RFK, Jr., and I remember when I was in 8th grade and homerooms 106 and 107, where, perhaps not coincidentally, the kids bussed in from the south side that year all ended up, were known as the "retard rooms." This was not meant politely.
Something very weird is going on. The comments have things like this:

It may be "entirely possible," but it seems unlikely. And if they do actually wonder about it, they're not likely to be receptive to anything that approximates an accurate explanation.
It took you a week to come up with that? There may not be a judge, but there is, more or less, a jury, and I'm content with its verdict on who's playing games instead of providing answers and who isn't.
It's not "my" article, but it does lay out what actually happened and what the given reasons were. I thought that basic information might be useful. Hence the link.
Not that I disagree with that, but when you didn't link to anything I got suspicious. I refer people to the link for an explanation of why she was cancelled and whether it was out of fear of student violence.

If you don't want to answer the question asked* rather than the one you put (and didn't answer), that's your prerogative.

Don't give anyone any ideas. This crowd would very much favor having socialists register.

I take this prediction of "divorce or war" exactly as seriously as I have taken your many previous predictions.

Why would this be any different?

Two things can be true at once. Even crazies need a permission structure.

It would almost be funny if the Trump administration collapsed because he stood on one of the few principles he seems to have.

There was no tariff plan you would have been okay with. Hell, I doubt there is much of anything President Trump could do that you would agree with.
I don't think that's quite the own you seem to think it is.
