I read the Fort Morgan Times article (linked) after seeing our AG Phil Weiser tweet about how meaningful it was for him to be out for the groundbreaking of a new housing development sponsored by Cargill and meant to help provide affordable housing to their employees.
The disruptions on university campuses around the world continue, to the point that on many colleges actual conduct of educational activity is something available only to the most resourceful. We know the cause of the day that serves as the catalyst for the disorder; support for Hamas and implicitly – and often explicitly – antisemitic hatred for Israel. That, of course, is merely symptomatic; the real hatred is broader, and more generally revolutionary – a hatred for Western Civilization and all of the manners, morals, and customs that accompany it.

On May 1, 2024, The House Education Committee hearing for Colorado Senate Bill 24-158 proceeded without hearing from any of the 37 opponents registered to provide testimony against the bill.

Fierce campus debates swirl around the Israel-Hamas war. One of them is a debate about the extent of free speech. Should there be restrictions on those protesting Israel’s military actions or its right to exist? Protesters’ voices vary, with some being pro-Palestinian and others pro-Hamas. Some are calling for a cease-fire, while others call for the end to the Jewish state. Freedom of speech is a precious right guaranteed in our Constitution’s First Amendment. The right to discuss, debate, inquire and even protest on a university campus should be cherished and protected. But are there limits?
