Ever since I watched a wolf pack of left wing yahoos trying to shout
down Hubert Humphrey during a campaign speech by screaming at the top
of their lungs "freedom of speech, freedom of speech" it's been clear
to me that a 'liberals' interpretation of the principle is their
'right' to shut up anyone they disagree with so that the same lack of
principle exists amongst 'liberal' professors comes as no great
surprise.

And it, unfortunately, hasn't changed over all these years. Anytime
these cretins can't win an argument the technique is to "shout-over".

** I liked Hubert Humphrey; and the Ev (Dirksen) and Charlie (Halleck)
Show... opponents were different in the "good ol' days" ;-)

Civility is not a leftist virtue; it is bourgeois and old-fashioned,
practiced by Christians, old farts, and similar non-progressives.
