Join Cherise Trump and she discusses the experiences of recent University of Virginia graduate, Emma Camp. Emma spent her years on campus speaking out about the importance of free speech and was able to write what came to be a controversial op-ed in the New York Times about her concerns for the future of America’s universities in light of the hostile reactions to speech she witnessed on her campus. They will discuss the growing trend of shutting down speech rather than engaging in debate and why students and administrators find this tactic so appealing.
