Radical Speech: Dave Barry Talks About Politically Correct Campuses
Dave Barry, Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist and author of more than 30 books, is no stranger to critics trying to censor his writing.

This new video from FIRE features Barry discussing why freedom of expression is important to him and how today's politically correct college campuses are creating a culture of censorship that stifles humor writing and the opinions of millions of students across the country.
