The 1st Amendment recognizes our God-given right to free speech without government restriction. But what is a college student to do when it’s their own college suppressing their free speech? What is that student to do when that suppression directly leads to hate speech and violent threats from their fellow students simply for having a differing opinion? Our guest was such a student. We are delighted to welcome back to Constituting American Evita Duffy. Evita won our “We the Future” contest back in 2010. Since that time, she attended the University of Chicago and is now a journalist. We are happy to have one of our earliest contest winners and member of the Constituting America family back to share her experience regarding free speech on college campuses and her hopes for a renewed culture of free speech.
