These are the same people who claim they want diversity, Dershowitz said, but their behavior reflects that is not really true.

“They may want superficial diversity of gender or superficial diversity of color, but they don’t want diversity of ideas,” he said. “I don’t want to make analogies to the 1930s, but we have to remember that it was the students at universities who first started burning books during the Nazi regime, and these students are book burners. They don’t want to hear diverse views on college campuses.”

Kelly recalled college was once about the free expression of ideas, but now, with these students, there are demands that harsh “words” have to be stopped.

“It’s the worst kind of hypocrisy,” Dershowitz said. “They want complete freedom over their sex lives, over their personal lives, over the use of drugs, but they want Mommy and Daddy Dean and President to please give them a safe place, protect them from ideas that may be insensitive, maybe will make them think.”
