Free Speech is Waning on Campus

By: Thomas Lindsay, Ph.D. – texaspolicy.com – May 31, 2019 Too many students feel afraid to speak honestly on campus for fear of offending someone, a new national survey of college students says.

Democrats have had an impeachment itch that they’ve been desperate to scratch ever since Donald Trump took office. For them, Ukraine is equal parts a genuine outrage and…
