Free Speech on Campus and at Work
Today’s program is a very special pre-recorded program. On March 4th, our moderator, Terry Phillips, led a discussion before a live audience at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia. With questions and comments from the public, the conversation includes Mr. Joe Altschule, an Attorney; Mr. David Miller, President of Pacific Employers; Dr. Sue Cox, adjunct Professor at Fresno Pacific university; Mr. Tommy Smothers, entertainer. The panel discusses our First Amendment protections for freedom of speech, and how they are extended to the workplace, and where the lines should be drawn between exchange of ideas and unreasonable intrusions at Universities.
