it really does show how much of the "is free speech on campus being threatened by the woke mob?" stuff is just pure manufactured nothingness.
When events like this happens, it's like the upper echelons of society just goes "Alright, those times where you had the ability to say what you want and where we were talking about how free speech is important in democratic societies is now over. Put the toys back in the box. That was a fun time in recess on the playground but now it's time to pack it in. No more funny jokes about free expression, we were just letting you play make-believe for a while there and letting your imagination run wild, but it's time to return to the real world. No dissent is tolerated anymore. You will lose your job and starve and you are actually a terrorist yourself if you try and have even peaceful words about the issue here. In a few weeks we might let you go outside and play again and talk about the abstract ideals of free speech, but not right now, children - there's serious adult business going on here that you don't understand yet."
