I almost missed this one. George Jonas on what you can and can’t say on campus. Naturally pro-life speech falls into the category of what you can’t say. My favourite part on why freedom of speech is curtailed:
Second, because the centre-left, in charge of both universities and the justice system, has a soft spot for the far-left from which free-speech deniers are launching their forays. Centrists and extremists of the left are kin under the skin. Left-centrists embrace illiberal institutions from “human rights” tribunals to affirmative discrimination, just like the far-left. While the centre-right is embarrassed by its far-right cousins and disowns them, the centre-left tries to find excuses for the black sheep of its own ideological family.
No matter how we got there, the end result is that we have police taking away pro-lifers in handcuffs.

Wow. He didn’t pull any punches did he? And he hit the nail square on the head! Bravo Mr. Jonas for calling it like it is.
