That actually made me laugh. How in the world would this persecute me? Even back when I was in university, it was school of engineering, which does NOT invite someone to speak about his oppression. (Unless that oppression led him or her to discover some really cool math or physics.)
I do wonder at how you can possibly internally justify believing that EVERY conservative is far too evil to be heard at university whilst for example Ahmadinejad deserves to have his chance to explain why Jews need to die and Angela Davis needs to be paid to explain why America is too racist to have prisons. But I do understand that for progressives, maintaining a fiction of logic, no matter how absurd, is important for your self image. And I'm okay with that. I only worry when you guys get power. 'Cause man, ain't nobody craves power over their fellow man like progressives.
That reminds me of how Valedictorians are quite often denied the right to mention G-d in their speeches, although usually they do not go ahead and then get dragged off stage. I'm aware of that happening only once (requires two really stubborn people) but many if not most schools have a fear of offending and being sued by the ACLU over this issue.
Since progressives discovered that freedom OF religion is actually freedom FROM religion, government can and does prevent people from freely practicing their own religion. And the progressives are constantly seeking to restrict religion even more, from banning creches on public property to trying to ban creches in sight of public property, from banning official prayers to preventing graduating valedictorians from mentioning G-d in any way. It's practically the ACLU's entire reason for existence. (Of course, this only applies to Christianity.)
Most of these same left wingers have no problem banning the Boy Scouts from public buildings or prohibiting crosses from being erected on public property; Christianity for too many on the left is unconstitutional wherever the slightest hint of it can be found, yet Islam is constitutional wherever it is found. Witness support for North Carolina's state colleges which ban public scholarship funds going to religion majors as violating the separation between church and state while simultaneously requiring that EVERY incoming freshman take a course on understanding Islam. It certainly isn't the Bible-thumping right supporting that dichotomy! The old Arab axiom that the enemy of my enemy is my friend has taken firm root with liberals, who see Christianity as THE enemy and Islam as a valuable ally.
