Indeed …

… Chris Hernandez Tells It Like It Is | The American Conservative. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)



The journalists at Charlie Hebdo are now rightly being celebrated as martyrs on behalf of freedom of expression, but let’s face it: If they had tried to publish their satirical newspaper on any American university campus over the last two decades it wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds. Student and faculty groups would have accused them of hate speech. The administration would have cut financing and shut them down.
My, my. That's David Brooks. Good for him.
