UPDATED: CNN’s Sally Kohn: Conservatives unable to speak at colleges a ‘good thing’

"So much for “diversity” and freedom.  It seems that CNN’s Sally Kohn is no fan of free speech — especially when it comes to conservatives making their opinions known on college campuses.

"According to Kohn, conservative speech is nothing more than attacks on progressive ideology and multiculturalism, which she apparently believes is doubleplus ungood, to paraphrase George Orwell, a man who wrote about the form of tyranny Kohn seems eager and willing to embrace.

"A post at Liberty Unyielding reported:

Kohn was at MU as part of a two-day symposium on the topic of campus free speech. Kohn’s event was a debate with fellow CNN contributor Kirsten Powers, in which the two clashed about whether recent campus trends have been harmful to free expression.

UPDATE: CNN commentator Sally Kohn said conservatives fighting for free speech on college campuses are merely finding creative new ways to "attack diverse principles."
. . . "Once again, Powers insisted that diversity of thought and diversity of ideas are just as important as any other type of diversity, but Kohn refused to concede the point, arguing that some ideas are less deserving of protection than others." . . .
