The Looming Crisis Over Free Speech

a lecture by

Dr. Eric Daniels

In this lecture, Dr. Eric Daniels examines the state of free speech in America and finds that it is under serious
threat. From campus speech codes to anti-discrimination and harassment law, from campaign finance to
commercial speech, Americans today enjoy less and less freedom in communicating their ideas. Today’s
colleges and universities have become a hotbed of censorship, producing generations of Americans who have
accepted suppression of speech as the norm. Daniels argues that the emerging crisis is a result of the lack of
a proper understanding of individual rights, especially property rights. Only by understanding the proper basis
of rights can we act to secure our freedom of speech and to protect the rights that give rise to it.
