I just don't see that happening. Whatever happens on campus, and however it happens, the internet is alive with every opinion under the sun, and you'll find young people running the gamut from ultra-Randites to ultra-Marxists, and every point in between. Any opinion that can be *genuinely* suppressed by a gang of shouty nineteen-year-olds probably isn't held with much conviction to begin with.
I don't think the ability to have an opinion will be suppressed - it is the potential consequences of having a different opinion that bother me. As I said earlier, when you lose your job because you have a different opinion, or are hunted down via social media with your personal information splashed all over the Internet so that you can be bullied and receive death threats for an OPINION, that is the problem. And that is what is happening. To me, that has nothing to do with social justice or fighting institutional racism.
