Harry wouldn’t enjoy today’s campuses of higher learning.
The fabricated iconoclast, namesake of the Harry Higgens Foundation Society and godfather to journalism majors, thrived on political incorrectness at Los Angeles State College in the late-1950s.
Today's academic bastions (including LASC, now California State University at Los Angeles), focus now on censoring divisive viewpoints with speech codes and other violations of the First Amendment.
Academic freedom once defined a college or university as an untouchable venue for free expression.
No longer. Today, campus conservatives and moderates are pariahs. Unpopular opinions lead to persecution and suppression.
Harry definitely wouldn’t like that. (25 AUGUST 2002)
