Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Monday blasted American universities for having “abandoned truth” in trying to protect students from hate speech, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
"More than a few institutions have been unwilling to provide a forum for their students to discuss serious policy matters that affect our country. I can and have found other forums, but what about students who cannot?" DeVos said in a speech for high school and college students at the National Constitution Center for Constitution Day.
She said that school faculty, "too often attempt to shield students from ideas they subjectively decide are hateful or offensive or injurious, or ones they just don't like. This patronizing practice assumes students are incapable of grappling with, learning from, or responding to ideas with which they disagree."

I love that woman. She has a pair of brass ones.
I think the pre-college schools have abandoned it as well!
It is all liberal indoctrination!
This nation has over 1 TRILLION in college debt! That should speak volumes what many of these institutions are raking in! I get and believe in Capitalism but sometimes an intervention is needed BEFORE it gets outta hand!
Its way outta hand now!
What a bag of hot air. Her family cares not for the American people, only for profit
"abandoned truth". She needs to be preaching to her boss. LOL
Liberalism and Leftism have overtaken colleges, in curricula and administration, that's for sure.
11:19 and 11:23 - If it wasn't so sad I would laugh at you two. Oh well, you will see on November 2018 and 2020 when you get ever so bad news and we can watch you all weep over the elections. Majority of the population are sick of the education garbage in this country.
