On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid reviews a recent incident at Middlebury College, where disagreement with a speaker’s point of view led to chaos and even violence. Listen in as McDiarmid reads the response from two ideological opposites, Cornel West and Robert George: a public statement endorsing academic freedom on university campuses. This statement has been widely circulated and it was signed by our own Bruce Chapman, Steve Buri and John West.
