Censorship at College: Politeness Gone Wrong

Sep 2, 2012 | Single Videos

VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Is college really a bastion of free speech, a marketplace of ideas, where views can be discussed in an atmosphere of openness? Are some cultural, economic, and political views more acceptable on campus than others? Who decides? This segment looks at the debate over limiting free speech on college campuses.

Immigration has become one of the defining issues of the current political climate. We dive back into the debate in the latest edition of Both Sides of the Issue. Both Sides of the Issue Environmental activists usually advocate for clean energy, so why do some want to destroy hydroelectric dams? John looks into it in our latest video.
