David Frum on SFSU
Yesterday on Phi Beta Cons, David Frum reposted a column about the “ongoing scandal” at SFSU that he wrote for Canada’s National Post. Frum had some wise words about the broader implications of the SFSU case:
The SFSU College Republicans will prevail in the end. Even if the university sanctions them, those sanctions will be appealed to federal court and swiftly overturned. It is the universities for whom we should worry. They lack the courage to defend the freedom without which they cannot live.
