Universities are the cradle of free speech, where ideologies and ideas clash, where academics and activists can agree, disagree, or be disagreeable. This is particularly true in the United States, where the First Amendment zealously guards against government surveillance and intrusion into free speech. Yet at hundreds of campuses across the country, administrators encourage students to report one another, or their professors, for speech protected by the First Amendment, or even mere political disagreements. The so-called Bias Response Teams reviewing these (often anonymous) reports typically include police officers, student conduct administrators and public relations staff who scrutinize the speech of activists and academics. This sounds like the stuff of Orwell, although even he might have found the name Bias Response Team to be over-the-top. Over the past year, I surveyed more than 230 such reporting systems for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and asked dozens of schools for records about their Bias Response Teams. What I found is detailed in a new report describing how universities broadly define bias to include virtually any speech, protected or not, that subjectively offends anyone. On many campuses, administrators are called upon to referee whether speech is polite.

Lincoln Chafee is deeply unimpressed with the press. The former Rhode Island governor and U.S. senator said Tuesday that his experience running in the Democratic primary last year reinforced his belief that reporters are bad at their jobs, and that they are more likely to focus on petty nonsense than they are to address uncomfortable issues. For example, Chafee said Tuesday, his brief run for president reaffirmed media don't want to talk about the war in Iraq, which he voted against when he was a Republican senator. I've really come … to understand that there's a strange force out there, if you will, that the mainstream media, whatever you call it, but we got into the Iraq War and, for those of us that have questioned it and voted against it in my case, they don't want us talking about it, he said in a WPRO talk radio interview. And I found that out in the presidential race.

One of the first things people ask when considering joining the Federalist Party is either, "What is your platform?" or "What are your principles?" It surprises many when they hear that our core principles are broken down into two primaries and a single secondary philosophy. This is politics, after all, so parties are supposed to take a stand for dozens, even hundreds of issues, right? Yes and no.
