http://freebeacon.com/issues/doj-joins-fight-free-speech-college-campuses/Attorney General Jeff Sessions was met with a large protest group made up of Georgetown Law students and faculty members when he arrived to deliver a speech declaring that free speech is "under attack" on American campuses.
The attorney general did defend the activists' right to state their disagreement with him. "We will defend your views and the right to express them in appropriate and effective ways," he said. "We celebrate the diversity of opinion, we celebrate your freedom to ask questions and to push back, that's part of American heritage."
Sessions, however, pushed back against college administrators across the country who have silenced speech by allowing threats by protest groups "to control who gets to speak and what messages are conveyed."
