It never ceases to amaze me that so called institutions of higher learning are the first ones to quell freedoms. Many universities ban residents from owning firearms, and many also ban freedom of speech. Plenty of universities have "free speech zones", or areas where freedom of speech is allowed. This of course, implies that the basic human right is banned elsewhere on campus. Andrew Grossman reports on one college that bans freedom of speech out right, all in the name of political correctness.

Students at Bucknell, in Pennsylvania, are prohibited from engaging in "bias-related behavior," that is, "any action that discriminates against, ridicules, humiliates, or otherwise creates a hostile environment for another individual or group because of race, religion, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender, language, or beliefs."

Although especially stringent, Bucknell's speech code is hardly unusual. Hundreds of universities and colleges have in place restrictions on what their students, faculty, and staff may say to one another or in public forums.

Why would universities have a speech code to begin with? We've gone from "Congress shall make no law..." to institutions of the state (and those that rely on federal and state funds) telling students what they can and cannot say, and where. Given that anyone can find anything offensive for any reason, it's amazing that students can say anything at all.
