Let Coulter speak

As a longtime liberal and a person who despises everything Ms. Ann Coulter stands for, the kids at Berkeley and elsewhere are flat wrong and are going against the very backbone of liberalism. Being able to speak our concerns and beliefs is one of the most sacred aspects of freedom. As many before me have said, “even if it makes your blood boil” everyone has a right to speak.

I hope that the kids on both sides learn this and soon and stop the Trumpish attacks. Let the people speak, then, and only then, either support the ideas put forth, let it pass, or prove them wrong. To stop a speech is worse than what the speaker is going to say.
