the University of Michigan's extreme actions involved punishing the marching band when various sections of the band dressed like different kinds of music.



"One section wore backwards hats and baggy shorts and they were Rap. Someone walked by, they saw it, they filed a complaint. And the 400-member marching band had to go through several hours of cultural appropriation training," Neily said.

Congress is also hearing about such extreme incidents. At a recent hearing about the threat to free speech on campuses, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said, "Administrators at a community college forced an 8-year Navy veteran to stop distributing – now get this – pocket-size U.S. Constitutions."

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) referred to the student mob at Middlebury, saying, "When a group of students menaced and assaulted Professor Stanger whoto democracy way down to her bones because of what happened in her own family's past during World War II. She's Japanese-American and her grandparents met in one of the internment camps where the U.S. imprisoned more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans during the war with Japan and Nazi Germany.

She said she's frightened about these draconian restrictions college administrations are slapping on their students in the name of protecting them.

Remembering her imprisoned grandparents, she said, "The reason I don't want these arbitrary government systems in place is because I know that a government that's big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away – because it did."
