I'm curious as to what they Charlie thinks the appropriate college response to this is.
Because when the students protest conservative speakers advocating for right wing policies that either result in loss of life or erode democracy, it's "cancel culture". Students get angry and it's ill mannered illiberalism.

But colleges are supposed to do what exactly with these tactless pro-Palestine student protesters. Expell them? Revoke tenures of their advisors? Take away their signs, columns, and positions? Really I want to know what an appropriate response would be, and why a campus Republican group defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine shouldn't be held to the same standard.
Good point. Wish I would have thought of it. And, to be consistent in my argument, we do have a College Republicans group on our campus. Sometimes they have invited speakers whom I found to be unnecessarily polarizing, and the talking points that they have on some of their posters and flyers can be (deliberately) inflammatory. But that's okay. They too are entitled to free speech, and we accept their input also as part of the process. They are not heavy-handed activists engaging in destructive behavior. They just say what they believe. I see a big difference between words and actions in practical terms.
