Free Speech on campus is alive and well; and ...
conservatives are not being singled out
Here's what's going on: by claiming they are being denied equal access to free speech
they hope to gain more access because people will be afraid to deny them.
It's similar to the thinking behind the "The Liberal Media" false claim,
in which any attack on conservative media is called discrimination against their right to speak.
