I profoundly doubt that the story is as simple as given in the article.
Did you read the links?
Do you know anything about the lawyers representing him? Look into FIRE.
Do your own leg work, but here's what's going on in a few sentences.
College campuses (at the direction of women, minorities, and other "persecuted people") are enacting broad speech codes.
These speech codes essentially criminalize speech. You say the wrong thing, and you have to go before a panel (you usually don't get a lawyer and have no legal rights). You can get kicked out. At the very least, you gotta lick boots.
What's the bigger agenda?
Eliminate all offensive speech and make thinking/saying the wrong thing a crime. It's also a way to destroy your enemies. If everything is potentially offensive, you just wait until your target says the wrong thing.
Then you bring the speech code down on his head.
Maybe that's the world you wanna live in.
I sure as fuck don't.
