Recently, the British Parliament introduced an Act called The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill. This bill will impose requirements for universities and students' unions to protect freedom of speech on university campuses and face financial consequences when they violate students' free speech. Cherise and her guest Calvin Robinson, a political commentator, and education policy expert, discuss the doors a law like this will open in the UK as well as what critics are saying regarding government overreach. Additionally, they will discuss the UK's history of free speech and censorship, how universities are at the core of 'cancel culture', as well as what the US can learn from the UK's new policies and how we should be thinking about regulations such as these.
