Free Speech on Campus by Erwin Chemerinsky, Howard Gillman Yale University Press

This is a clear, well-written,  thoroughly researched and persuasive book about the importance of free speech on campus and the idea that places of higher education should encourage independent thought and the ability to challenge ideas.  It is quite academic and the authors go into some detail about the meaning of the First Amendment, the history of free speech, the definition of hate speech, protests and the modern liking of students for trigger warnings.

I received this free ebook from Net Galley in return for an honest review.
