by

Be sure to check out FIREPresident Greg Lukianoff and Vice President Robert Shibley’s in today’s New York Post.  The column is a potent statement of precisely what’s wrong with Teachers College’s evaluative policies:

Bollinger and Teachers College need to understand that requiring students to hold certain beliefs is completely at odds with a free society. Who has the right to tell students what political beliefs they must have?
