Schools are generally pretty lenient towards leftist "no platform" activists, and generally allow them to use physical resistance and blockade buildings where wrongthink is occurring. If hard-right groups were allowed to use the same tactics while the administration turned a blind eye, there wouldn't be nearly the same perception of bias or censorship.

'Don't need to be given a non-hostile audience' is a really odd way of removing agency from the concept of going to other people's talks and preventing them from speaking.

The problem is that in some cases, extremists will physically block entrances or pull fire alarms to stop sanctioned talks from happening, and not a finger is lifted to stop them (and god help you if you do anything to ensure that your activity proceeds as planned)

Actually, something not too dissimilar happened just last week in the UK which has a bearing on the issue of students' - or activist groups who claim to speak for them - current enthusiasm for the censorship of wrongthink. The author was attending a debate on abortion at Oxford University (for the pro-choice position, which should make him sufficiently Correct for D&D to tolerate) and the event was cancelled because an activist group threatened "disruption" because the speakers both had the wrong chromosomes.

Yes, the all-too-common leftist idea that certain people shouldn't discuss discuss certain subjects is precisely why these impediments to speech happen.
