2Political correctness3 has taken politeness and turned it into a weapon of censorship and intimidation. In the workplace, on social media, and even at the dinner table, Americans are confronted daily with a laundry list of words they're "not allowed" to say-and that list is updated constantly and without warning. How did so absurd a concept become so dangerous-and come to dominate our public discourse over the last quarter-century? In Speechless,...

But we must resist...

Too often speakers are shouted down, professors are threatened, and classes are disrupted. In Speak Freely, Keith Whittington argues that universities must protect and encourage free speech because vigorous free speech is the lifeblood of the university. Without free speech, a university...
