Free Speech in German Universities

Hat tip Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes

If you think that we have a problem with political correctness and suppression of speech only in American universities, think again. It is also a problem in German universities.

Most recently, this has been demonstrated at the University of Siegen (North Rhine-Westphalia), where Thilo Sarrazin was invited to speak. Sarrazin, a politician and writer, is a critic of mass migration into Germany as well as Islam. Thus, his invitation caused objections from students and faculty.

Is a little history in order here? We should remember that before Hitler took power in Germany, one of his main targets was the universities. I myself was stationed  in Erlangen as a US soldier in the 1960s, the town whose university student government was the first university where Nazis gained a majority. Once Hitler took over, Jewish  professors were purged, Jewish students were forced out, and everything taught followed the Nazi party line. That was in every university in Germany. Freedom of speech was dead.

Does Germany want to see its universities return to the days when only one opinion was allowed to be heard?
