HANNAFORD: Campus free speech strangled by workplace ‘safe space’ laws
from Western Standard Shows · host Western Standard
Safe space” rules are strangling free speech in universities, that should be bastions of open debate. Thus, constitutional lawyer Glenn Blackett, tonight’s guest on this week’s edition of Hannaford. It's an outrage that the courts won’t deal with, that university administrations use as a convenient escape hatch from academic accountability, and that leaves to take action only the governments that created these ‘safe space’ laws in the first place — ironically not to foster academic freedom, but to suppress workplace harassment.
