How the pendulum swings!  For decades, the basic history course for most undergrads at US universities was  "The History of Western Civilization."   Generally it excluded the bad stuff, like  colonialism, imperialism, religious bigotry, etc. as well as the  success of great past civilizations of China, Japan,  Persia and India, for example.  And American history was  all about "The Winning of the West" and our Manifest Destiny, and not much about slavery or the theft of Native American lands.
Now the academic  pendulum has largely swung to the other extreme, and Western Civ has become the root of all evil.  With time, it will balance out.
But what of the current freedom-hating students who won't let reactionary extremists  like Ann Coulter speak?  Look,  David Brooks is free in his column to express  his disgust for Trump and his cronies--
The students need to find a  creative way to express their  own loathing for Coulter & Trump without violating basic liberal rules of free speech.
