> There is a bit of a paradox here, because you could argue that cancelling a professor for having an unfashionable opinion is itself an exercise of student free speech.

No, it's curbing the professors speech. If students allowed the professor to speak, but held their own counter speech or protest march then that would be an exercise of free speech. Preventing another person from speaking is disruption, not counter protest.

Counterspeech was what I meant by "cancellation", e.g. dragging them on Twitter with millions of views, making it so no one wants to hire them for their next gig.
