‘The Bulletin’ on Speech Code Report
Philadelphia newspaper The Bulletin has an about Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS’s 2007 speech codes report, Spotlight on Speech Codes 2007: The State of Free Speech on our Nation’s Campuses. The article focuses on Philadelphia-area schools in particular, noting that both Drexel University and West Chester University get poor, “red light†ratings for suppressing student speech. Drexel, Torch readers may remember, has a particularly egregious speech code, banning both “inconsiderate jokes†and “inappropriately directed laughter†(whatever that means). Thanks to The Bulletin for helping bring these ridiculous policies to the public’s attention.
