Mona Charen on the Feds’ ‘Blueprint’ for College Censorship
FIRE President Greg Lukianoff's op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal takes on the feds' unconstitutional "blueprint" for speech codes that makes nearly every student in America a sexual harasser, but Greg and FIRE aren't the only ones sounding the alarm. Nationally syndicated columnist Mona Charen's recent column ties this latest outrage to the 2011 "Dear Colleague" letter from the Department of Education that slashed due process protections for students accused of sexual misconduct including—guess what!—sexual harassment.
