WTW97: A Tale of Two Free Speech Controversies

Update: 2025-11-03

Description

A few weeks ago, Lydia and Thomas did an episode on the steps of the California Capitol for California Freethought Day, highlighting the differences between a fake free speech professor-story and a real one. This juxtaposition sparked a research effort to dig into more of these cases, some of which will be featured in the following episodes.
