Free Speech Under Scrutiny

This chapter examines government actions targeting individuals, specifically students, for their expressions of dissent and the resulting implications for First Amendment rights. Focusing on a case involving a Turkish student at Tufts University and her experience with visa revocation due to an op-ed, the speakers discuss the broader issues of intimidation, governmental overreach, and the complexities surrounding immigration law. The conversation underscores the necessity of safeguarding free speech within educational settings while navigating the precarious intersection of civil liberties and national security.
