Free speech 2

Yesterday you saw a quote from long-time professor Camille Paglia claiming that free speech should be a foundational value for every institution of higher learning, that university level students should understand that they will encounter other opinions and will be challenged.

That's where free speech comes in - both you and other people have a right to make the case for viewpoints you or they believe in. Maybe we can learn something from each other.

Princeton Open Campus Coalition is a student organization dedicated to the “robust protection of important values such as free speech, free thought, and bold and fearless truth-seeking." They say Princeton has a heritage of tolerating diverse thought, and should not “rig the curriculum in favor of particular ideologies” or try to "re-educate" (coerce) students who dissent.
