Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday said he thinks American universities have transformed into shelters “for the fragile ego” and equated student protesters to members of the Ku Klux Klan.

“The American university was once the center of academic freedom—a place of robust debate, a forum for the competition of ideas,” he said during remarks on free speech at Georgetown University’s law school. “But it is transforming into an echo chamber of political correctness and homogenous thought, a shelter for fragile egos.”

He cited instances on college campuses that he claimed were either a violation of students’ freedom of speech — like students who were arrested in Michigan for passing out copies of the Constitution — or a university’s attempt to shut down diversity of thought.

Specifically he spoke about a “frightening” incident at Middlebury College in Vermont, in which a guest speaker was invited to the school to debate with a professor. Protesters shut down the discussion by shouting, he said.

2. Said the Grand Dragon

from Alabama:

Jeff Sessions Was Deemed Too Racist To Be A Federal Judge. He’ll Now Be Trump’s Attorney General.

He once joked that he only took issue with the KKK’s drug use and referred to civil rights groups as “un-American.”

WASHINGTON ― The man who President-elect Donald Trump will nominate as the 84th attorney general of the United States was once rejected as a federal judge over allegations he called a black attorney “boy,” suggested a white lawyer working for black clients was a race traitor, joked that the only issue he had with the Ku Klux Klan was their drug use, and referred to civil rights groups as “un-American” organizations trying to “force civil rights down the throats of people who were trying to put problems behind them.”

13. The same people, like Sessions, . .

who whine about "political correctness" are just fine with

pressuring us to stand for the anthem - and even threaten

our livelihoods if we don't comply.

Mind boggling hypocricy.

They really don't give a rat about freedom of expression.

14. Says the guy who oversaw at least 130 students uninvited to the event

"..transforming into an echo chamber of political correctness and homogenous (sic) thought, a shelter for fragile egos.”

Says the guy who oversaw at least 130 students uninvited to the event because they weren't the right type...

16. I read a tweet earlier saying that Trump was bashing Sessions at his dinner party last

night for conservatives. I am sure sessions heard about it but sessions loves is power in his job.
