WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans view college campuses as far friendlier to liberals than to conservatives when it comes to free speech, with adults across the political spectrum seeing less tolerance for those on the right, according to a new poll.
More recently, a conservative Princeton University professor was drowned out while discussing free speech at Washington College, a small school in Maryland.
Overall, Republicans see a clear double standard on college campuses.
“The reality is that there’s free speech for everyone on college campuses,” said Fleisher, a linguistics professor at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
But as the nation has become more politically divided, so have college campuses, said Kristen Shahverdian, senior manager for education at PEN.
