Newsletter on college campus proposes banning veterans from universities

That newsletter article is bizarre. I believe in informed debate, but when the original author writes "many veterans..." and "many students" without quantifying or citing sources, you can see it's just someone (writing under a pseudonym!) trying to provoke a response.

This article has been posted a few times here, so I'm going to copy my response from earlier.

I'm glad this is happening. Presenting an idea is soooo much better than assaulting people or smashing windows or setting things on fire. An idea is something we can debate. Is it a stupid idea? Sure, and I'm glad it's out there. This allows people to see inside the minds of people who think this way. And they are very persuasive words -- fortunately, they will persuade far more people that this guy is a lunatic than they will persuade people to think he is correct about veterans. And that's exactly the point! Let that debate happen! Let's encourage more people to reveal the inner workings of their minds. Let's allow racists and Nazis and communists to express their ideas, so people can see how repugnant they are in their own words. Let's hear from NeoNazis and White Supremecists in their own words tell us what their ideal world would look like, and let's have Antifa explain why that's bad, and how they feel about the rule of law, and why they think their own tactics are justifiable.

In the end, middle America will be the judge of it all, and I believe all the lunatics will eventually become as irrelevant as David Duke. (If it weren't for the liberal media bringing him up and trying to tie him to Republicans, nobody would know where he is or what he's doing or saying. Because nobody cares.)
