College is supposed to be a time of open-mindedness — learning critical thinking skills while surrounded by a diversity of opinions. Yet it seems like every day, another story surfaces about conservative students being silenced by their professors or university administrations.
For example, a student at Hagerstown Community College in Maryland recently sued her school after they prohibited her from starting a conservative club, reports Campus Reform. And the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education recently published a report highlighting the numerous conservative speakers that have been disinvited from speaking on university campuses because of their "controversial" views.
Hundreds of school districts across the country have taken a pledge to "pronounce student's names correctly" to avoid the "microaggression" of mispronunciation.
