"'Censorship' just evens the playing field"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Pity the poor university student. Thanks to ‘safe spaces’ and ‘trigger warnings’, ‘no platforming’ and PC hogwash, they’re being turned from rigorous intellectual thinkers into delicate hothouse flowers - and, in doing so, they’ve been barred from a grand tradition of academia that stretches back for centuries: free speech.
