Republicans Target Campus Protest in Assembly Bill

Frederica Freyberg:

In our Wisconsin Look this week an update from the state capitol. A bill proposed by Republicans regarding campus free speech passed the Assembly this week. The bill disciplines college students who disrupt campus speakers by suspending them after two violations and expelling them after a third. State Republicans say the bill will protect both liberal and conservative free speech. Democrats disagree, however, calling the bill unconstitutional and a violation of the first amendment.
