I found this rather ironic.
“I mean, it’s just nuts. It makes no sense. It’s crazy to have this woman be the person who’s going to speak to the students,” Hikind said.
Does this individual believe that whatever the speaker may say will hold some sway? Perhaps they also think that those minds can not think for themselves.
IMO this statement highlights what exactly is wrong with the struggle on freedom of speech. In their minds, they think they should be the arbiter on who hears what because of how the listener might interpret the words.
For example, "let me filter what you hear!" While the motives may be subjectively right, it is inherently WRONG! Coddling and filtering needs to stop. Free speech is critical in that and if our society intends on advancing at all.

The First Amendment protects you from the government, not from each other.
