Is there really free speech on college campuses today? Yes.

And by yes I mean as long as you don't say or print anything which isn't exactly what we want you to say or print.

And it's not like we're going to arrest you for saying or printing stuff. You're just going to get fired.

Oh, and you might just fail all of your classes.

And there is a slight possibility that we'll kick you out of school.

Marginal chance that we'll also ruin your reputation by labelling you bigot.

Might just ruin your career if you hope to go into the media.

Or any other occupation where people might not want to work with a bigot.

Which, now that I think about it, is pretty much all of them.

Other than that, the college campus remains the last true refuge for free speech on the earth.

Go support Acton Gort who just got fired from the The Daily Illini for printing the Muhammed cartoons. He could use it right now.

Peoria Pundit claims that the Daily Illini is the now officially the crappiest student newspaper in America. Hard to argue.
