Safe Space Student: “Some people have more equal rights than others”


Nearly every day, news reports abound regarding the shutdown of free speech on college campuses across the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western societies.  Liberals only advocate for the free speech with which they agree.  Otherwise, they declare a “safe space” and shut it down.  Recently over 100 Black Lives Matter and communist protestors shut down a Students for Trump event at an Oregon University.

Now, we are gaining an interesting perspective into the thought processes of these delicate college students, after a British student made this proclamation to the BBC:

During a debate about the threat to free speech on university campuses, Richard Brooks, the Vice-President of the National Union of Students, almost quoted George Orwell’s Animal Farm directly when he said that “some people have more equal rights than others.”

Asked by host Victoria Derbyshire, “are too many people being silenced?” Brooks said that the NUS’ “no platform policy” was a way of preventing “fascists and racists” from speaking on campus.
Brooks claimed that the organization’s “safe space policy” is “based on the idea that every single person has freedom of speech, and everyone has equal right to freedom of speech, however, some people have more equal rights than others.”

Brooks added that prioritizing the opinions of some people over others (ie not believing in equality), was a means of “ensuring that marginalized groups get their views heard.”
He also claimed that such policies were “progressive” and were not an example of “censorship”.

In what was nearly a direct quote out of George Orwell’s 1945 novel, Animal Farm, this young man revealed what the left truly believes when it comes to equal rights and free speech.  We need only read Orwell’s work to discover where that kind of thinking and those kinds of policies take a society.

*Spoiler Alert*  It doesn’t end well.
