GoogleIf you think that, like the Macarena, campus speech codes were
mocked into obscurity during the 1990s, think again. Approximately
71 percent of American campuses still impose highly restrictive
"red light speech codes" on college students, notes Greg Lukianoff,
president of the Foundation for Individual
Rights in Education (FIRE).
Recently Reason.tv's Ted Balaker sat down with Lukianoff to discuss
the sorry state of free expression in higher education, why you
can't call Harvard men sissies, and how a student got expelled for
criticizing a university president on Facebook.
Approximately 8.5 minutes.
