Then you tell me I should be responsible.

Mike TysonLetโs be honest. Who here thinks your professors can say what they really believe? It scares me to death, and should scare you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the halls of reason. What does all of this mean? It means that telling us what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling us what to do canโt be far behind.

Why do you, whoโre supposed to debate ideas, surrender to their suppression?

Democracy is based on fairness, openness and pulsating life. Therefore it must constantly be won again.
