A new report from the foundation for individual rights in education finds that nine out of ten colleges are actually restricting free speech has got a scary when you think about it College is supposed to do it's about to take young people and expose them to ideas they haven't heard before to prepare them for the real world. But it seems like more and more universities are terrified of controversy. So there shutting down certain speakers or certain ideas. It's not helped when Anti shows up and actually burns things down and commit acts of violence. Are these universe. It's our scare enough to pay for it, but it does seem like treating their students more like customers and thus just catering to their whims now. In reality, it is both left and right that get censored in terms of free speech, but for some reason the narrative from the left tends to be that there is no free speech crisis when the data actually says otherwise. So today, let's take a look at the latest report.

Look at some of the stories where free speech is winning and losing on college campuses before we get started place at our TIM cast doubt come forward slashed donate. If you would like to support my work, there is a monthly donation option, a bitcoin or criminal currency option, either physical address even a shop or you can buy shirts that I've design myself from the fire dot Org nine in ten american colleges restrict free speech and eleven states. At least half of colleges raided, earned fires worst rating for clearly and substantially restricting free speech rights, almost eight hundred thousand students. At top? U S, colleges must find a free speech zone to exercise

their expressive rights. Their report spotlight on speech, Coachman, nineteen, the state of free speech and our nations campuses analyzed the written policies at four hundred and sixty six of America's top colleges and universities for the protection of free speech. The report finds that eighty nine point- seven percent of american colleges maintain policies that restrict or too easily could restrict student and faculty expression. Most colleges impose burdensome conditions on expression by maintaining policies that we, tricked students free speech, rights, said fire senior programme officer, Laura Belts, led authority of the study. Colleges should be a place for open debate and intellectual inquiry, but today, almost all colleges silence expression through policies that are often illiberal and at public institution

unconstitutional more than a quarter of institutions in their ports. Twenty eight point: five percent received fires, poorest red light rating for maintaining speech, codes that both clearly and substantially restrict freedom of speech. Alarmingly, red light school still make up at least half of fire rated institution and the District of Columbia and eleven states, only nine percent of institutions rated received fires green light rating. This total is up from only two percent. In two thousand nine, Meanwhile, the number of institutions earning a yellow light rating is swelling from twenty one percent in two thousand nine to sixty one percent. Today, while less restrictive than red light policies, yellow light policies still prohibit or haven't impermissible chilling affair. Unconstitutionally protected speech. For some reason, the left narrative tends to be that there. Is no crisis, even though left wing individuals get censored as well

The most notable story recently was that a young woman put up a sign, saying, F Nazis in her window, and the school actually tried to pressure her into taking the sign down. Now they did concede that you could keep her sign up, but these things have affected the left as well as Glenn Greenwald puts it. They tend to be the people who have the least ability to learn, because the left as advocating for banning hate speech a likely be the subject of these policies, as has just recently happened, a few recent examples of free speech winning at universities, one from inside higher at a man, was passing out. U S constitutions in Spanish and was told that he couldn't do it unless he was in a free speech zone. However, he sued recently, one how ironic that he was handing out constitutions which explain how you have a right to free speech and had his speech. Mr another notable story from this month, you see Berkeley and college Republicans settle free speech case. The store from December Third reads:

You see Berkeley and a conservative student group have reached a settlement agreement and a prominent twenty seventeen free speech case. Both parties announced Monday under the agreed Do you see Berkeley has changed its campus events policy explicitly, laying out which events require student groups to pay security costs. The university also agreed to pay the Berkeley College Republicans and Young America's foundation. Seventy thousand dollars in attorney feeds the organization. Five, a lawsuit in federal court. In April twenty seventeen alleging you see Berkeley violated conservative students, first employment rights by placing prohibitive restrictions on when and where events featuring and colder and David Horwitz could take place. The campus maintained the restrictions were set in place due to legitimate security concerns following violent protests that forced the cancellation of Milo. You novelist speech earlier that year, not the political views of the speakers and that the rules did not prevent the groups from holding their events, so all at this

protesting: didn't work, something called the hecklers veto that basically because of security concerns or because of what a third party will do, the job Of course, our institution well shut down an event, and that's typically frowned upon someone's does not actually permissible, but activists have tried to de platform speakers. In some cases it's worked in this case. It did work in the past, but now use Barkley has lost the lawsuit, it would seem like in the long run, conservatives will win on this front and the far left is not going to end on this front. For some reason. It The left that claims there is no free speech problem on campus, even when fire said no we're finding that there is either when the left is censored. Themself vocs published this story in August Data shows a surprising campus free speech. Problem left, wingers being fired for their opinions

in the story, they say, Jeffrey Sachs, a political scientist at Canada's Acadia University, put together a database of all incidents where answer was dismissed for political speech in the United States between twenty fifteen and twenty seventeen sacks results published by the left, libertarian misguided centre actually found that left wing professors were more frequently dismissed for their speech, then conservative once we can see in this chart that going into twenty seventeen speech deemed likely level is while there, the majority, yet just about a month later, in response to a critic of the writer, wrote this piece the myth of a campus free speech crisis. Orbs run a story. There is no free speech crisis on campus and the Washington Post where the story, the campus free speech crisis- is a myth. Here are the facts, but I'm an irreparable, out with a story I mentioned earlier about a college and men greater asking a student to remove her F Nazis sign because it wasn't inclusive culture war, in my opinion, is making people crazy even in a peace. Where are you

ox writer shows that the left is being censored or fired for their speech. They still have the nerve to say there is no free speech crisis. Why, in my opinion, tribalism they want to side against conservatives who are complaining about issues of free speech. When bench appears to Nepal University in Chicago, he was told that he couldn't speak and was actually threatened with a rest. If he tried go into the building sounds to me like there is a free speech problem to say the least, but when you come back these stories with the data presented from vocs, I would say you actually do have a crisis. People being fired and is invited for their ideas is up. Problem when college is supposed to expose people to these ideas, but I will admit the issue is particularly dangerous and kind of subjective. Especially when you see a story like us from quill at the free speech crisis on campus, is worse than people think nothing. Reasonable to say that it's, the far left, even other smaller number that push for banning things like hate speech and oppose the idea of free speech. There's that famous,

of an activist burning assignments as free speech, but there are they neo liberals who claim to support free speech, but also dogma, and massive multinational corporations doing what they want, because there are private business, something typically at odds with what the left wants, because the left tends to be ok with certain relation, but it's not all bad news as much I believe there is a crisis brewing and with the expansion, what anti terrorism and opposition to free speech it could get worse. We act we see a trend in the other direction from fire. So as I'm, an earlier it seems like the libertarian types. The free speech tax might actually went on this front. Although the our report is rather alarming. They do point out, for the eleventh year in a row, the percentage of red light schools has declined and a red light institution is one that has at least one policy both clearly and substantially restricting freedom of speech or that bars public access to its speech related policies by require

a university login and password for access, while the red light schools may be decreasing in number, it still kind of scary to see that green light schools with the best rating on protecting speech or let nine percent it's kind of funny that conservatives concerned about free speech would actually addressed this problem, which, in the long run, may benefit liberal and progressive ideas if the left wasn't so big, with their tribalism. They were I recognise that it negatively impact them more often than not, while at least according to Vauxhall story. So by. I'm trying to downplay the narrative and push conservatives aside their only her themselves and in trustingly, maybe what the conservatives know it or not. Thereafter, They doing something. Principled and their actions protect more than their own beliefs. But I guess you know that's the expected, because people who support free speech pretty much agree with the right of other peoples to express themselves. So it's kind of funny that those who oppose free speech,

are more negatively impact it. But let me also thank the commons bulky. The conversation going. It's no secret that I am a big fan of college, but the day may actually be a good thing. Because, like I mention firesides, things may be getting better, but do you think it's getting Don't you think it's getting worse, because we might see these policies being lifted, but certainly political violence it may be worth and spent in a very long time, comical locate the conversation going.
