An article about campus censorship
The Weekend Interview with Greg Lukianoff: How Free Speech Died on Campus - WSJ.com

Not only is that an eye-opener in itself - that wasn't my experience years ago in college - but it led me to make a connection to censorship on forums. Not this one, as far as I know, but many other forums I've visited. Where certain legal expressions are in effect forbidden, like criticizing products advertised there or expressing socially conservative views. My point is that campus censorship conditions people to accept censorship in forums.

What do you think of that?
