Key Takeaways:

• Our universities were formerly known as places OF free speech are now becoming places FROM free speech
• I have friends that fly the Confederate flag as a monument to history. I may not fly that flag, but I defend their right to do so.

“In a country that was founded on many freedoms (including freedom of speech and freedom to worship as we wish) we find ourselves rapidly regressing into intolerance.”
