I think you should be a bit more specific. Obviously if you go up to some random guy and insult him or his family you might get your ass kicked. I don't think too many people on here give a shit about that type of speech. However, if you make an intellectually rigorous claim on a college campus and have other students try to get you expelled or silence you, that is a totally different story.

LOL, no, it's not, it's completely within their free speech rights. Is it right, probably not, but that doesn't mean it's not protected.
