Biden on Free Speech: ‘Liberals Have Very Short Memories’ (The Washington Free Beacon)
Former Vice President Joe Biden spoke out against the suppression of speakers and defended free speech during an event Tuesday with Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R.).
Speaking to an audience at his alma mater, the University of Delaware, Biden said shouting down speakers is "simply wrong." Biden noted that when he was going through college, free speech was also at the forefront but it was those on the left who were "shouted down when they spoke."
The tables have turned since Biden started his freshman year in Delaware. Students and faculty of the University of California, Berkeley called for the shutdown of classes during "free speech week," adding to the growing tensions related to free speech on college campuses.
