Samantha Harris of The FIRE was on FOX News recently to describe the findings of a new study on free speech.

American Universities Severely Limit Students’ Free Speech, Study Finds

American Universities are severely infringing on students’ freedom of speech, according to a new report.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) found that 59 percent of 427 colleges and universities analyzed restrict free speech.

At Troy University in Alabama, any comments or conduct that’s deemed unwelcome or offensive to a person in relation to sex, race, age, religion national origin, color, marital status, pregnancy, disability or veteran’s status, is banned.

Samantha Harris, the director of policy research at FIRE, said the rule restricts political speech. “That means that the most sensitive members of the university community get to determine what speech is and isn’t permissible.”

Here’s the video.
