Under what principle would you allow silencing, removing the ability of these people to speak, that includes them but not your favored tiny or not so tiny groups?
I find it disconcerting that many self-identifying 'liberal' groups advocate for the anti-liberal restrictions of speech codes. If you are not for free expression, everybody's, not just the ones you agree with or approve of, then you do not hold liberal views and are not a liberal.
That's because these people were never liberals. After they "used up" the word progressive, they stole liberal from the "classical liberals", somewhat akin to today's libertarians ... and now they've pretty much used up "liberal", and many are recycling the word progressive.
