This chapter explores the issue of free speech on college campuses, specifically focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It discusses the results of a survey that measured students' comfort in expressing their views on controversial topics, the tolerance for different speakers, and the acceptance of disruptive conduct. The chapter highlights the poor ranking of elite schools, such as Penn and Harvard, in terms of respecting free speech and delves into the suppression of alternative views and the contradiction of elite schools claiming to support academic freedom while stifling the presentation of differing perspectives.
