Freedom Ride

I am reading "The Need For Roots" by Simone Weil and this lady couldn’t be more confusing about her points. I’m reading the section about freedom of opinion, but I can’t tell if she believes groups should have freedom of expression or not. Any help?

"There is no such thing as a collective exercise of the intelligence. It follows that no group can legitimately claim freedom of expression, because no group has the slightest need of it."

Quote from Simone Weil’s book. Hope this helps. See you in class. Anonymous.
