I don't think cgod put it well, but I think he is saying that it's dangerous to use selective speech control as a means to build a better world. It always backfires as it is a key of minority rights and the ability to promulgate change, and no one can exercise selection well. It is a solution that eventually makes problems of equal scale and suffering, which is scary.

I don't think those students ought to be mocked. It doesn't help anyone.
