Now, clearly, discovering his higher purpose is less interesting to this student than reveling in his heightened sense of victim-hood. But while it is tempting to get angry at young people who assert a “right to be un-offended,” the fault is not really with this generation of students. It is with this generation of college administrators.

As students in the 1960s, the Baby Boomers fought for the right to be treated as adults. After they became college administrators in the 1990s, they began to fight for students’ right to be treated like children. The war was waged principally with speech codes, which give almost unlimited power to college administrators who wish to control the marketplace of ideas.

Those of us who oppose these speech codes should not be angry when college administrators try to enforce them. We should thank God for the arrogance that these codes foster. They embolden these administrators in ways that seldom play well in front of a jury of their peers.

Because of organizations like the Alliance Defense Fund, we are now able to wage war on these codes, not just in the court of public opinion, but in the courts of law.

And this is our only hope: that by causing a new generation to revolt against the illegal constrictions of their parents – the same parents who revolted against the constrictions of their parents – we can turn this nation around and return to the values articulated by the Founding Fathers.

As one who is a plaintiff in an ADF case, I feel like I am playing a part in an important revolution. It almost feels like I’ve found a Divine purpose given to me by my Creator.
