From the Wall Street Journal: In January, a University of Hawaii administrator tried to stop students from handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution outside the campus’s designated free-speech zone. After students sued, the university revised its policies to allow free speech in “all areas generally available to students and the community.” Campus speech police continue to stretch the bounds of what they prosecute under the banner of threats and intimidation. New Jersey’s Bergen Community College in January placed a professor on leave for posting an allegedly “threatening” picture on Google+ of his seven-year-old daughter doing yoga in a Game of Thrones T-shirt that read “I will take what is mine with fire & blood,” a quote from the TV show. Colleges, of all places, should be encouraging free inquiry and debate. They betray their values, and America’s, when they fail this basic test of a free society. https://youtube/watch?v=htZir_Taizg
