Free Speech and Harvard Law
I received today a promotional copy of by Maricopa County, Arizona, District Attorney (and HLS alum) Andrew Peyton Thomas. I鈥檒l be interested to read what Mr. Thomas has to say. As someone who received threatening messages (such as 鈥淚 want you to die, you f***king fascist鈥) when I wrote a pro-life letter and as someone who was once shouted down by my own professor during what I thought was a civil debate over abortion, my personal experience with the marketplace of ideas at Harvard was a bit, umm, suboptimal.
