The Spectator: Have you met the Stepford students? - Free speech is so last century. Today’s students want the ‘right to be comfortable’ (Young people rebelled in the Twenties, took a Depression-War break in the Thirties-Forties, rebelled in the 50s and rebelled big-time in the Sixties. Just our luck that today, when Western civilization is going down for the count, college students compete with each other when it comes to conforming zombie-like to the Multicultural Marxist Establishment. Regardless of your feelings on abortion, the same scenario would play out if anyone tried to hold a debate on immigration, race and IQ, etc, etc.)

Have you met the Stepford students? They’re everywhere. On campuses across the land. Sitting stony-eyed in lecture halls or surreptitiously policing beer-fuelled banter in the uni bar. They look like students, dress like students, smell like students. But their student brains have been replaced by brains bereft of critical faculties and programmed to conform. To the untrained eye, they seem like your average book-devouring, ideas-discussing, H&M-adorned youth, but anyone who’s spent more than five minutes in their company will know that these students are far more interested in shutting debate down than opening it up.
I was attacked by a swarm of Stepford students this week. ...
