Episode #16: College Campus Protests, TikTok Ban, and Presidential Immunity

Is your understanding of free speech truly comprehensive when it's put to the test by fiery protests and the clashing of ideologies? Grapple with me, Greg Gardner, as we navigate the turbulent waters of expression and dissent through the lens of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests on college campuses. The sanctity of free speech is a cornerstone of our discussions, where I dissect the balance between the First Amendment and the policies of private institutions. Unpack the nuances of student protests, the tough questions they raise about societal double standards, and consider the broader implications of these actions, such as the regrettable cancellation of USC's graduation ceremony.
