164 Words1 Page

Free Speech on Campus by Nat Hentoff is an interesting article in which Hentoff tries to prove that free speech is not on all college campuses. In the essay Hentoff uses examples such as fliers, professors, and guest speakers to get his point across. Hentoff says, “how are they going to learn to identify and cope with them” (para. 10), this to tell us about the protection of students from bad ideas. These attempts to protect are taking away from their first amendment. Hentoff feels that we should allow them to choose what ideas are bad.

A trigger warning is a warning often provided to students when the subject matter of a class may be found offensive or elicit a strong emotional response.
