Truth, ideas, and intellectual inquiry used to be synonymous with American universities. After all, Yale’s motto is “lux et veritas,” which means “light and truth.” Similarly, Harvard’s motto is “Veritas,” or simply “truth.”

But universities, dominated by leftist professors and even more radical college administrators, are increasingly suppressing any nonconforming views. This thinking is wrongheaded and ignores the purpose of both the university and the First Amendment.
