Description
Book SynopsisMakes the case that campus speech codes - no matter how well grounded in history, law, or philosophy - have tended to be overbroad, arbitrarily enforced, and used selectively to protect only certain groups at the expense of others. This title challenges academics and general readers to reconsider how we deal with this important issue.
Trade ReviewA fair-minded and significant contribution to the study of an important public issue. Andrew Altman, author of Arguing about Law and Critical Legal Studies ""An accessible book that synthesizes the vast literature on this topic.... A model of clarity and fairness, it is an extremely valuable book for anyone interested in a balanced treatment of the background of campus speech codes, the experience under them, and the difficult issues they pose."" Journal of American History ""A well-written work [and] required reading for anyone interested in the debate."" Library Journal
