So to Speak podcast: Campus mobs, heckler’s vetoes, racial segregation, and a rogue student government!
On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we are joined by FIRE’s Robert Shibley and Adam Goldstein to discuss recent cases of censorship — and a case of racial segregation — on campus.

- Portland’s Lewis & Clark College mandates racial segregation in orientation programming
- Dear University of North Texas: The ‘Heckler’s veto’ is not a good thing
- University of Northern Iowa administration must correct its student government’s refusal to recognize ‘hate group’ Students for Life
