In "Feigning Free Speech on Campus" (Op-Ed, Oct. 25), Greg Lukianoff argues that "stringent speech codes," developed in part because of " 'political correctness' concerns about racially insensitive speech and sexual harassment," limit students' ability to engage because students have to "think twice before they speak their mind."
Students at college campuses across the country are routinely subjected to sexual harassment and racist and homophobic bullying, often under the guise of "humor" and free speech. On American college campuses, 51 percent of men openly admit to sexually harassing their classmates. While the behavior ranges from careless to cruel, harassment effectively robs students of their right to a safe learning environment.
All students should be entitled to an education without intimidation and bullying. Free speech is a valued right, and we're working together to create safe learning environments for everyone — not just the select few.
