I am just back from Washington, D.C., where I participated in a panel sponsored by the Bipartisan Policy Center on “disinvitations.” There are many important free speech issues in the country right now, and I don’t think commencement disinvitations is one of them. I might put demonizing the press at the top of my list. In any case, I offered my two cents (and misspoke in calling Justice Scalia “Chief Justice”) on what I do think about the need for “safe-enough spaces” on college campuses. You can read about the panel here, or, if you have the time, here’s a video of the event.
Happy Juneteenth!
