America has reached a consensus. We have a free speech problem when it comes to higher education, and there’s a growing crisis where colleges oppose inviting speakers to their campus who disagree with their political positions.

Thankfully, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has appointed free speech advocate Adam Kissel to deputy assistant secretary for higher education programs effective June 19.

Betsy The Boss may have been a boss pick.

I am unfamiliar with the Individual Rights Defense Program, but know that the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is an excellent organization standing up for the constitutional rights of all students.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Cut off any and all federal money to schools, which disallow free speech, etc.

The schools' administrations need to retake adult style control.

Kick offending students out, with no refund of fees paid. Turn their names over to local and state police.

College students are not supposed to be children so taking a harder line with them would be appropriate.
