University: A Forum For The Free Exchange Of Ideas And The Open Debate Of Perspectives

College suspends student for asking questions about gun control

At least such a thing would never happen in Connecticut.  Er, oops.

Also this, from University of Tennessee law professor, Glenn Reynolds:
"I love the way they always try to turn the expression of ideas they don’t like into some sort of security threat."

I have been amused for some time at how the "free-thinking" and "open-mindedness" of the university has begun to resemble more and more a totalitarian regime, with "free-speech zones" and students referred to psychological treatment when they ask difficult questions.  Actually, my amusement is beginning to dissipate as I see what the graduates of such institutions are doing to our societal fabric.
