Free speech on American college campuses has been in a free fall for years. From high schools through law schools, free speech has gone from being considered a right that defines our society to being dismissed as a threat. According to polling, the result is arguably one of the most anti-free-speech generations in our history. The danger is more acute because it has reached law schools where future judges and lawyers may replicate the same intolerance in our legal system.
The ATL criticism of Duke was illustrative of the new anti-free-speech movement that is now taking hold in law schools and legal publications. Academic freedom and free speech are denounced as tools to âmarginalize others.â Patrice sums up why both the student editors and the Duke faculty must be condemned: âA âvigorous and open exchange of ideasâ is valuable only to the extent it improves the academic mission of improving the human condition. Is Trans skepticism within that field? It shouldnât be, but here we are.â In other words, you are entitled to free speech so long as you cannot be accused of âmarginalizingâ others.
