I can’t tell you how many people I’ve had tell me they made a perfect shot, but the bullet “blew up on the shoulder” and the animal ran off, never to be seen again.

Wednesday Wake-Up Club BreakfastSpeech Codes on Campus | Professor John McAdamsOn June 6, 2018, Dr. John McAdams, professor of American Politics, Public Opinion, and Voter Behavior at Marquette University, spoke at the Leadership Institute's Wednesday Wake-Up Club Breakfast. In 2014, Marquette University suspended Professor McAdams from teaching and moved to strip him of tenure after 30 years of teaching, due to his remarks about a graduate student shutting down free classroom discussion. He sued the college in 2016 and the case was heard by the Wisconsin Supreme Court this April. He continues to champion free speech on college campuses.
