Apparently the letter writer doesn't understand that dissent is only permitted for the Left. Conservatives are shouted down, deplatformed, shadow banned, and boycotted. Here's the Left's position on dissent:

Apparently the letter writer doesn't realize that all that supposed "distrust of big government" eventually led to those same people populating the halls of congress, school boards, and the judiciary.
When the dissenters and protestor got power they became "the Man." They now are the oppressors, the silencers, the policers of conformity. They are the persecutors, the intolerant ones, they are the ones who silence people who express their dissent. It is the intolerant Left that has wielded the power of government against their adversaries.
The Left prosecutes grandmothers for silently praying outside of abortion clinics.
The Left accuses parents of being terrorists for speaking up in school board meetings.
The Left runs people out of their jobs for violating leftist orthodoxy.
The Left accuses conservatives of being book banners for opposing pornography in schools.
The Left forces cake decorators to endorse speech they disagree with.
The Left tells you want you cannot say, think, and do.
The Left, not Trump.
Dismantling government power structures is Gestapo tactics, but forcing people to do things they don't want to do is not authoritarian.
Burning buildings and taking over entire city blocks is noble and desirable, but a mostly peaceful protest in Washington DC is treason and insurrection.
When Trump defunds entire government departments and cuts bloated bureaucracy, that makes him a fascist, but when leftist California governor Newsome bans gas powered vehicles and wants California to be totally net zero, that's a permissible exercise of government power.
So Trump tells these publicly funded colleges that they are no longer allowed to discriminate on the basis of race. The letter writer wants these colleges to "dissent," i.e., continue favoring certain races over others in its admission and grading practices. This apparently is tyranny.
In actual fact, with Trump as president the leftist oppressors are being negated. The entrenched power structures are being overturned. They are losing their power to control your lives
Leftists stand for, embrace, and implement, oppession, persecution, hate, and division, all the while accusing their political opposition of doing the very thing they're actually doing.
So the letter writer is completely unaware of his own irony. He really believes the leftist agitprop coming out of the mouths of the talking heads on TV. He thinks that he's being told the truth by the very people who want to take away his freedom, take his money, and force him into government programs and government facilities.
Such is the sad legacy of the 60s anti-war, anti-government, anti-tyrant movement. They are laughable caricatures of themselves.
They became what they protested.

As I watch university after university bend the knee to our draft-dodging oligarch shadow of a president, I am appalled.
I ascended into adulthood during the late '60s and early '70s when universities were something to be proud of. They incubated the anti-war movement, they incubated a distrust of big government, they incubated a sense of social justice and they always questioned the prevailing political ideology.
We could trust them to produce people who were ethical and moral. There used to be a lot of these people who were in business, education, government, practicing law and medicine and throughout the general population. You could find them at the state, county and local level.
The idea of dissent was part of our DNA. Now all we see is the blindness of automatic consent. We can expect the majority of our population to buy into the current propaganda, but we expect more from our universities and colleges.
Ideas need to be nurtured until they have enough substance that the rest of us can take them and make the necessary changes to things that are wrong and immoral.
There are a lot of good people in this country who now need to stand up against this tyranny that is rapidly engulfing us. We are a much better people than this and we need to show it.
If you won’t start the revolution, then follow me.
