Among his recommendations in this interesting article: "Anyone who doubts the weakening of these principles of freedom in the American mind or the threat that this poses to constitutional self-government in the United States should read attorney Greg Lukianoff's superb book, ‘Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate.'"
