Leftist Threats of Violence Force UCLA to Provide Security Escort for Conservative Student
While the political left often boasts tolerance and inclusivity, it appears that liberals on UCLA’s campus aren’t quite living up to those ideals.
Christian Walker, a conservative influencer and student at UCLA, claims he is being escorted around the Los Angeles campus by security officers due to violent threats from liberal students.

Due to some ill-informed judges over the years, some places have lost sight of what colleges and universities are for, what their rights and responsibilities are, and what their students' rights and responsibilities are.
Universities are places of research and education. They have a right and responsibility to make sure their students and professors are safe, and feel safe, so they can work and study with minimal distractions.
The students also have a responsibility to the institution, and to the other students, to not be distractions and offenders themselves.
Richard Spencer does not have a "right" to speak at the University of Florida, simply because a handful of students invited him, or the auditorium is offered to the public for a fee on some nights. The University has a duty to make sure that its students are only subjected to viewpoints that the University has vetted as informed by the standards of scholarship.
But today's judges don't recognize that universities have a right to protect their students from verbal abuse from outsiders. Today's judges say everyone has a right to spew hatred on campus. So, what to do? The only thing left is for the students themselves to give such speakers the heckler's veto. With the encouragement of certain professors, usually. This is a lesson. If the courts won't enforce what's right, usually the people take it into their own hands. These hecklers aren't snowflakes. They're doing the job that judges won't let the universities do. No one "needs" to hear a bigot speak.
Herschel Walker's son, a student at UCLA, does have a right to study in peace. Apparently he's being heckled by some of the hecklers who have made it their job to keep the Richard Spencers of the world away. This is another lesson. Any weapon raised will hit unintended targets. Fortunately, UCLA seems to have given him some security guards. They should also punish any students trying to bother Mr. Walker. Judges have also ruled that universities have very little authority to stop students from harassing each other, again, the judges cite free speech. This is also wrong. Anyone who hassles Walker the student simply because his dad is a prominent conservative should be suspended from classes and expelled if they persist. Hassling the relatives of political candidates isn't part of free speech as the founders intended it.

The story or the village idiot?
Isn't the title of this post already an established fact by now? Breaking news!
All part of the playbook. A little fascism goes a long way when it comes to the Dems.
The US has a population of 330 million. I'm sure people can cite hundreds of scenarios like this going both ways.

Not in Universities.
Maybe in a hick gas station with a population of 200 when someone drives in with a VOTE FOR HILARY AND ALL PRO GAY CANDIDATES flag billowing from their Prius.
That's when you'll see discrimination going the other way.
Universities? It should be a place of civil discourse and learning. The left has completely forgotten that.

Both sides have been told to forget that, by activist judges.
Activist judges have said that a University has no right or power to prevent uncivil discourse from occurring.
