USC Law Professor: Supporters of Campus Free Speech are 'Preying on Vulnerable Teenagers'

David E. Bernstein|Apr. 30, 2018 12:28 pm

USC law professor Michael Simkovic has a blog post up at Leiter Law School Reports which I can charitably deem "remarkable." The basic proposition is that the only problem with free speech on university campuses is that a cabal of right-wing provocateurs are luring immature students into trying to shut them down, to make universities look bad for the benefit of a Koch-inspired war on higher education.

Here's a taste:

    Recently, the Federalist Society invited South Texas College of Law Houston's Josh Blackman to lecture at CUNY law school. Professor Blackman's sparsely attended lecture drew protestors because of Blackman's previous criticism of an amnesty program for undocumented immigrants and his use of language the protestors interpreted as racial dog whistling.
