she said. “But that cannot and
must not come at the expense
of being an open environment
for speech.”
The events at Berkeley
and Middlebury have drawn
scorn from observers across
the
political
spectrum,
including some founders of
the free speech movement
that took root at Berkeley in
the 1960s. Jack Weinberg,
who was arrested on campus
in 1964 for violating school
codes on activism and
sparked a wave of protests to
change them, said he found
“the whole thing despicable.”
“When you suppress
ideas, you also increase
interest in those ideas,”
Weinberg said. “It’s under-
standable that people want
to stop it, but it doesn’t
work.”
Hamilton, New York.
He sees it as a genera-
tional divide, a notion that’s
supported by some polling
data. A 2015 survey by the
Pew Research Center, for
example, found that 40
percent of people ages 18 to
34 supported government
censorship of statements
offensive to minorities. Only
24 percent of people ages 51
to 69 agreed.
The literary group PEN
America has also warned free
speech is being threatened at
colleges.
As students and admin-
istrators strive to make
campuses more hospitable to
diverse student bodies, some
have wrongly silenced speech
that makes certain students
feel uncomfortable, said
Suzanne Nossel, the group’s
director.

In campus clashes from
California to Vermont, many
defenders of the First Amend-
ment say they see signs that
free speech, once a bedrock
value in academia, is losing
ground as a priority at U.S.
colleges.
As protests have derailed
speeches by controversial
figures, including an event
with Ann Coulter last month
at the University of California,
Berkeley, some fear students
have come to see the right
to free expression less as an
enshrined measure of protec-
tion for all voices and more
as a political weapon used
against them by provocateurs.
“I think minority groups
and those who feel alienated
are especially skeptical about
free speech these days,”
said Jeffrey Herbst, leader
of the Newseum, a Wash-
ington group that defends
the First Amendment. “But
the powerful can get their
message across any number
of ways. It’s those who feel
powerless or alienated who
really benefit from enshrined
rights.”
On Wednesday, students
at the historically black
Bethune-Cookman Univer-
sity in Florida tried to shout
down a commencement
address by Education Secre-
tary Betsy DeVos, who said
during her speech, “Let’s
choose to hear one another
out.” Students and alumni
At Middlebury College
in Vermont, author Charles
Murray was shouted down
by students who accused him
of espousing racist views.
An event featuring Milo
Yiannopoulos at Berkeley
was called off after protests
over his views on race and
transgender people turned
violent.
In the past year, other
speeches have been disrupted
or canceled amid student
protests at the University
of Wisconsin, UC Davis,
Brown University, New
York University and DePaul
University, among others.
Today’s students have
developed a new under-
standing of free speech that
doesn’t protect language
seen as offensive to minori-
ties or others thought to
be disenfranchised, said
Herbst, also a former presi-
dent of Colgate University,
a liberal arts school in
