Famous law professor: Conservatives fear losing their freedom of speech

Question 'I never heard from students' is now 'routine'

Constitutional law professor and commentator Jonathan Turley is lamenting the fact that students in his law-school classes actually are now asking whether they have freedom of speech.

In America.

Online, he wrote, "With the start of classes at George Washington Law School, I have already had visits to my office of conservative and libertarian students asking if I thought they could speak freely in other classes without being penalized by professors."

He continued, "Despite teaching for decades, it is a question that I never heard from students until the last few years. It is now routine. It is the widespread fear of conservative students who have faced faculties with overwhelmingly liberal viewpoints and growing intolerance on virtually every campus as undergraduate students."

He cited a study from North Carolina that also now confirms conservative students routinely "self-censor" because they do not feel able to share their views in classes.

We've been forced to self-censor for years and years now.

I need to keep a low public profile in the People's Democratic Republic of Taxachusetts.

Many of the radical liberals are unhinged mentally ill persons not capable of rational thought nor emotional restraint.  Parts of their brains are missing or undersized.
