For my third source on freedom of speech on college campuses I chose an article from forbes.com. Forbes point of view on the situation is that there is no free speech crisis on campuses. They use a comparison with people that fuel the engines of climate denial when comparing the “phony” speech crisis to something. Forbes think that the speech crisis is a plan to undermine universities by right wing activists. A quote displaying this is “Right wing activists and donors are fighting to undermine universities because their values cannot thrive there.” They say that modern conservatism is failing with the intelligent open debate atmosphere. Forbes view on the First Amendment in this situation is that it is being enforced and students are able to speak their minds freely. Quote “It is a phony crisis manufactured by the same people who fuel the engines of climate denial.” Although this source was not recommended I believe that it is a credible source of information on this Bill of Rights topic. I believe this because forbes a world renowned news hub and in the article there were numerous plausible links. This is an informative source on how the First Amendment is being debated today because it shows how people view it in different ways. It explains how people say that the protection of freedom of speech that the First Amendment grants civilians is being violated. But according to Forbes these people say this because they can’t thrive in the college atmosphere because of the intelligent open debate ambience. Forbes believe that the First Amendment is being enforced great regarding freedom of speech and think that students speak their minds freely. When Forbes states “Modern conservatism is failing on campus because it shrivels in an atmosphere of intelligent, open debate.” it shows how these people who rely on modern conservation are failing because of the intelligent and open minded responses and debates. These debates and responses are states because of the protection of freedom of speech provided by the First Amendment.
