On Free Speech on College Campus: |
|
| |
"In the first weeks of the new school year, campuses across the country are again in the thick of the war over free speech. As in recent years, a familiar pattern is emerging: Conservatives look to bring conservative speakers to campus. Some liberal faculty and students object, claiming that hateful and offensive voices cause great harm and should be prevented from speaking.
"This is a corrosive, illiberal cycle, and it must end. ...
"The stakes in all of this are enormous. This is about whether the country's longstanding commitment to freedom of speech, as expressed in the First Amendment, will continue to protect all views in the very places designed to foster a free flow of ideas." |
