Will free speech ever return to American universities?
« on: September 24, 2019, 06:11:22 PM »
Possibly, at Michigan: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/sixth-circuit-deals-new-blow-to-university-speech-codes/

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed the District Court and revitalized a lawsuit by a student group claiming that the university's "Bias Response team" system has a chilling effect of free speech.

Why does no one argue chilling effect for the second amendment?

University of Michigan has always been a hotbed of Marxist/Leftist indoctrination.  I had a friend who graduated law school from U of M in 1968.  He went in a firm constitutionalist and came out a libtard.

I don’t remember college as a haven for free speech when I went. Sure, you could say bizarre, extremist things on one side, but only that one side.

So I guess I’m asking ... has it ever been?

Well, now they can accuse the judges of legislating from the bench.

Things have sure changed - when I was an undergraduate, the only "political" organization I remember being on campus was "Tech Students for Reagan."

You folks really make me feel old.

I remember exactly where I was when Kennedy was assassinated -- in the cafeteria at my college.
