Friday in 鈥橞ama
This Friday, I鈥檒l be speaking at the Bankhead Conference at the University of Alabama. The topic is 鈥淐ensorship, Free Speech, and Free Press in the University,鈥 and I鈥檒l be appearing with Donald Downs, a great defender of liberty and author of and with John K. Wilson, author of a book with the least persuasive title I鈥檝e ever read, . The event is open to the public, and my session begins around 9 a.m.
Alabama is a particularly appropriate place for a conference on free speech. In the last few years, 鈥橞ama has censored the Alabama Scholars Association, banned flag displays (including displays of the American flag), and just last year the Faculty Senate passed a resolution calling for a speech code on campus. Fortunately this resolution was countered by the Student Senate, which passed a competing 鈥渇ree speech鈥 resolution.
So, if you鈥檙e in the Tuscaloosa neighborhood on Friday, come by and see us.
