This is like saying that the right wants a white-only country. Sure, some do, but not most. Very few on the left are against free speech.
Most of the people I've seen who make this argument don't seem to differentiate between "I don't want certain speech in my living quarters" or "I don't want certain speech in this specific course" from "I don't think this speech has any place in society".
Free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want wherever you want. It means you have a right to say it somewhere. And I have a right to have conversations that exclude you.
