Honestly, the situation at Columbia University is a perfect example of why free speech is so vital, yet so misunderstood today. Speaker Johnson's visit was clearly meant to open a dialogue, but it seems like any attempt at discussing contentious issues gets shut down before it even starts. It's concerning to see calls for a university president's resignation simply for failing to 'bring order,' as if stifling dissenting opinions is the solution. The accusations of antisemitism are serious, but they shouldn't be used to dismiss legitimate debate over the Gaza war. What we need is more open conversation, not less, and definitely not people getting silenced for expressing unpopular views.
