Article Highlights Partisanship of Campus Speech Codes
Former FIREpresident David French has an on speech codes on today. He explains the 鈥渕ental agility鈥 of the 1960s free speech activists who have become the architects of today鈥檚 campus speech codes. David writes:
Those who formerly glorified dissent clamp down on campus with a mind-numbing level of intellectual conformity. Scientific inquiry is welcome, unless it results in tough questions about possible innate gender differences. Open debate is the hallmark of the academy, unless of course that debate intrudes into areas where policy should be settled and morality decided (like when dealing with race, class, gender, war, peace, and sexuality).
FIRE exists to counteract this suppression of dissent and to 鈥渄efend and sustain individual rights on America鈥檚 increasingly repressive and partisan colleges and universities.鈥 From College Republicans holding affirmative action bake sales to PETA groups tabling the campus quad, we will protect everyone鈥檚 freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, and due process rights no matter where they land on the political spectrum.
