Jeff Sessions reminds me of that little evil magical elf that’s always playing tricks on children to get them to realize Santa Claus doesn’t exist.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Sessions criticized American colleges and universities for being too “politically correct,” infringing on students’ free-speech rights and capitulating to the demands of loud protesters.
While speaking at in front of dozens of protestors at Georgetown University Law Center, Sessions cited a study that surveyed 450 colleges and universities and found that 40 percent have codes that “substantially infringe on constitutionally protected speech.”
“Freedom of thought and speech on the American campus are under attack,” Sessions said. “The American university was once the center of academic freedom — a place of robust debate. But it is transforming into an echo chamber of political correctness and homogenous thought, a shelter for fragile egos.”
Furthermore, Sessions claimed the DOJ is filing a “statement of interest” in a campus free-speech lawsuit filed by students at Georgia Gwinnett College.
Students at Georgia Gwinnett College are challenging a policy that limits students’ expressive activity to two small free-speech zones, requires students to obtain approval from campus officials and restricts their activity to a specific date and time.
Session’s comments come on the heels of the cancellation of a “Free-Speech Week” at the University of California at Berkeley.
