Professors wrong on free speech
Maxwell professors may recall an incident in the 1980s, when a professor in France, Robert Faurisson, was prosecuted for publishing works that denied the Holocaust. While several hundred scholars around the world signed a petition supporting Faurisson's right to academic freedom, the French intelligentsia cheered the censorship, being unable to distinguish between a defense of Faurisson's rights from an endorsement of his theories (which were almost universally dismissed).
No need to censor student's work
I'm disappointed that a photography student was threatened and told to take his pictures off his portfolio. He's not making money off the images, at least not directly. He just wants critique and someone out there to see his work. As a broadcast journalist student in a portfolio-based program, I am now worried that I will be stymied in my attempts to add to my portfolio.
