I don’t see how this is inconsistent with what they’re saying. These people are asking their colleges to not provide a platform, not that the speakers should not be allowed to speak anywhere.

Colleges are public locations that have historically allowed free speech. Court cases have been tried and lost trying to restrict this free speech.

I think then you see the issue - "These people are asking their colleges to break the law and restrict the speech of others."

You can argue that the laws should be changed to stop the current concept of free speech though.

> Colleges are public locations

This is not my experience for the indoors of the college.
