Question

Intolerance in school and college

Answer 1

Answer:

When fiery riots interrupted alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos’s planned appearance at the University of California-Berkeley last month, student volunteers spent the entire morning afterward sweeping up trash and broken glass from the school’s main plaza. Berkeley officials estimated the violent protest—which may not have even been started by Berkeley students—cost the college $100,000 in damages.

Yet property damages almost pale in comparison to the broader clean-up costs of campus intolerance, both physical and not. Schools are relatively new to this, too. Only in these past months have US college campuses witnessed an unprecedented rash of escalating protests over conservative or controversial speakers, with the most noticeable and recent incident being the physical assault of conservative sociologist Charles Murray at Middlebury College.
