Did you know that "completely false and demonstrably so" does not quite qualify as "an alternative historical viewpoint"?
Anyone who takes the position "well, maybe, 'The Holocaust' did NOT happen" (and does so without explaining where the 15,000,000(ish) people that were no longer walking around Europe at the end of WWII had gone to) offers - at BEST - ignorant support for the Nazis and their unsuccessful attempt at genocide.

If the commission of crimes by "even one" is enough of a reason to deport ALL "illegal immigrants", how many is the minimum required to ban Nazis?
So we are supposed to "tolerate" the Nazis but it's OK to demonize the "illegals" and/or "Muslims".
I see. You know what makes them Nazis? They were flying Nazi flags.This is a great example of the deranged and totalitarian nature of the modern left. To them, simply having students (and graduate students at that, who should be expected to be able to deal with conflicting opinions) read an alternative historical viewpoint makes one a "Nazi". And of course, an allegation of being a "Nazi" is sufficient to make one so.

What we need is a national holiday to remember ALL massacres throughout history, which (among others) would include the Holocaust, the Rape of Nanking, the Rwanda genocide, the Cambodia genocide, etc.
From CNN
American Nazis protested a Holocaust remembrance event. A university's scholarship is part of the reason why.
(CNN)For the past five years, Joyce Griffis and Congregation Chaim B'Derech have held a Holocaust March for Remembrance in Russellville, Arkansas. It's always been solemn and peaceful.
This year's march was supposed to be like all the others; attendees would march down Main Street, listen to speeches and offer prayers to commemorate and remember the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II.
Except white supremacists showed up holding Nazi flags, marching down an otherwise deserted sidewalk and signs that read, "The Holocaust didn't happen but it should have," while screaming references to Holocaust victims as "your imaginary 6 million."
The white supremacists carried crosses -- at least one was stained red -- alongside a picture of Jesus.

Is this America becoming great again?
For reference, here's the article, though I can understand why the OP would've been too ashamed to actually link such a disgusting piece of propaganda:
American Nazis, white supremacists protested a Holocaust remembrance event. A university's scholarship is part of the reason why. - CNN
Typical of CNN, they've linked a controversy about a scholarship at Arkansas Tech to a completely unrelated event. Basically, there's a bunch of histrionic totalitarian SJWs who want a scholarship ended because the professor whose estate is funding it is rumored to have assigned graduate students reading material presenting an alternative view of a historical event.
The narrow-mindedness of these people sometimes beggars belief.
So we are supposed to "tolerate" the Nazis but it's OK to demonize the "illegals" and/or "Muslims".

They have the same rights to free expression as anyone else.
Why do I have to repeat this? Freedom of expression is not limited to ideas and expression we like. It expressly protects expression we do not like.
I've mentioned this before. Back when the KKK and Nazis wanted to march in Skokie, I supported the ACLU lawsuit to allow this.
Why? Because I want them out in the open, to know they still exist and have some support. To SEE them and know who I need to watch out for and to keep me motivated against allowing them any real successes in our nation.
If you muzzle them, they simply go underground, but it doesn't stop them from growing or acting.
Meanwhile, if you stop them by claiming they are too "evil" to be protected by the First Amendment, you create an insidious exception. Then where does it stop? Perhaps YOUR group declared too "offensive" to be "tolerated?"
Before you liberals lose whats left of your minds, the article says there were 10-15 Nazis who showed up.
No amount of crimes is enough to ban Nazis.From CNN

No one is obligated to read the utter crap that is Holocaust denial, nor should anyone be peddling that load of bull****, especially not in schools.
It's sad to see such closed-mindedness take over academia.

Oh, look who shows up to defend nazis......
AmNat does not support Nazis. Nor have I seen any post by him saying 'maybe the holocaust did not happen'. Why do you continually repeat a falsehood?
(In case you feel like throwing insults my way I must make clear that I have supported Israel since its foundation. And that we know about the Nazi murders of the Jews in very great detail. The Israeli holocaust memorial and research centre Vad Yeshem has lists of all the know holocaust victims. One who was killed at Auschwitz has the same surname as me. Finally I knew about the reality of the holocaust from the time I saw, as a nine year old, newly taken film of the concentration camps as theey were liberated, one by one, by advancing allied forces).
