Today Adam Kissel at the FIRE supplements and expands upon a column by Dan Reimold over at the Huffington Post. Despite the fact that it is at the Huffington Post, Reimold's column does not involve using crystals blessed by Jenny McCarthy to prevent antibiotics from giving your children autism, and is quite worthwhile. It details the regrettable academic abuses of free speech principles in the past year, including both overt censorship of campus media by college officials and speech-suppressing thuggery (usually in the form of stealing newspapers with disfavored content) by student groups. Adam's piece is link-rich and will send you to all the details, plus additional FIRE cases.

The censorious behavior of both college officials and college students is breathtaking. Don't read it unless you are in the mood to be outraged.
