Comparisons of the protests over Larry Miller's speech at the University of Utah to Michael Moore's speech at Utah Valley State College are not equitable. Michael Moore was paid a speaker's fee, forcibly extracted from UVSC students. Those students had every right to complain about how their money is spent. U. students paid for nothing. In fact, they received a "subsidy" from Miller.

Financing does not determine the value of speech, but the duplicity does indicate that the left-wing politically correct fundamentalists who are divisive in the name of diversity, intolerant in the name of tolerance and censor in the name of sensitivity are a far greater threat to personal freedom than their "right-wing conservative" counterparts.
