Free Speech Under Attack

Free speech is under attack in the United States, most notably in our universities. The University of California, Berkeley, once known as the bastion of free speech, has become one of the greatest offenders and oppressors of conservative speech.

After expending much effort and treasure, the Young America Foundation(YAF) succeeded in securing the right of Ben Shapiro, a best selling author, to address students on the Berkeley campus on September 14, 2017.

Here is the YAFs account of the dirty tricks and roadblocks that the university used to try and stop Shapiro from speaking.

The complete description of YAFs effort is described in their Fall 2017 magazine, LIBERTAS.

Consider the plight of "regular" students who do not have a "deep pocketed" foundation to assist them in securing their right to speak freely. Their speech is shut down and they are bullied and intimidated by other students, student organizations and the college administrations as well as the classroom professors.

It is our obligation as citizens to assure that all people have the right to speak by supporting the enforcement of our constitutional rights.
