Sarah Parshall Perry: Missouri State University's Secret Thought Police Dismantled and the Campus Free Speech War Coming for Your Kids

from The Marc Cox Morning Show

They called them bias response teams — but Sarah Parshall Perry of Defending Education calls them what they really are: campus thought police. The Vice President and Senior Legal Fellow joins Marc Cox to reveal how Missouri State University was allowing students to anonymously report their fellow classmates for using the wrong pronoun, triggering disciplinary action, registration suspensions, and permanent academic record notations that would follow them for life. Three days after Defending Education filed suit, Missouri State suddenly discovered they intended to shut the whole thing down all along — and the settlement now prevents them from ever punishing a student for expressing sincerely held beliefs again. Perry warns this is happening coast to coast, supercharged by Biden-era expansions of federal civil rights law, and that self-censorship on campus is just as devastating as outright punishment. As a mother of two college students herself, Perry makes it personal — and makes it urgent. If your kids are headed to a public university, The Marc Cox Morning Show and Defending Education have a warning you cannot afford to ignore.
