Group of university professors starts campaign to *block* free speech on campus

From a purely logical standpoint, most people would think university professors would generally support free speech.

Nope.  The American Association of University Professors (AAUP)--a far-left organization--has announced a campaign to repeal or block new pro-free-speech laws, and new rules and guidelines on campuses nationwide that seek to protect free speech.

After fascists (posing as Antifa) staged riots in Berkeley to prevent invited conservative speakers from speaking there, several state legislatures passed laws making such actions illegal.  Similarly, several universities introduced rules or regulations to do the same thing.

The AAUP--like all lefty organizations--saw this as a threat to their power, so they devised the new program--called “One Faculty, One Resistance”--to block these laws, rules and regs.

In other words, they want to shut down campus free speech.

The group explained the "lib logic" in a document, claiming

So-called ‘Campus free-speech’ bills actually seek to suppress speech, by creating a litigious environment and imposing minimum penalties on protesters.

The group is transparent in their anti-free speech stance.  They say they're concerned about new state laws that punish students who shut down guest speaker events.  In some states, students could face expulsion or suspension up to one year for interfering with the free expression of others.
