Ok, maybe they don't enjoy it, but it still seems to be happening.
Seems to be, or is ?
How would we know, exactly, if this is news or just more attention to something that has been happening forever ?
'Because it's in the news' isn't a reason.
Maybe those suppressing free speech are a small minority, but they're a small minority that is getting their way, aren't they?

Are they ? More than before ? Did we know that colleges are more 'open' than society in general ? Has that been mentioned in all of these stories, as in closing with " It should be noted, however, colleges and universities are still more tolerant of differing view than society as a whole."
For that matter... is this report even right ?
I base my reliance on this on the Economist's reputation and this statement:
Answers can be found in General Social Survey (GSS), an academic questionnaire which has probed American attitudes on free speech for decades.
We have to re-examine everything these days. We are through the looking glass.
