Early results from a Brookings Institution study on the First Amendment’s standing among college students foreshadow an ominous future for free speech rights.
University of California at Los Angeles professor and Brookings senior fellow John Villasenor released preliminary findings this week on the free exchange of ideas at universities. The scholar said his poll of 1,500 current undergraduate students at U.S. four-year colleges and universities was so “disturbing” that he wanted to “get some of the key results out into the public sphere immediately.”
“Freedom of expression is deeply imperiled on U.S. campuses,” the professor said Monday. “In fact, despite protestations to the contrary (often with statements like ‘we fully support the First Amendment, but…), freedom of expression is clearly not, in practice, available on many campuses, including many public campuses that have First Amendment obligations.”

ReplyDeleteThey will also face violence.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok. I had the grades but skipped college and work on the water. We will see who's more fit to fight.
ReplyDeleteUntil they get their own ass kicked then it's a whole different story. College puke should just stfu, get a job if they can, and stop pretending they are someone they are not AND trying to convince others that they are smart, OR smarter than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT, on both counts. You only "know" what someone else has told you, and have an ability to remember it. Big deal.
If you are truly smart, OR smarter than anyone else, go out in the world and solve some of our problems. Or just ONE of our problems.
THEN I would be impressed with your so-called intelligence.
