Estrich needs to read a dictionary and look up the word "censor".

Censorship occurs when a governmental authority prevents the dissemination of information. This involves neither government action nor the prevention of dissemination of information. Therefore it fails on both counts and is not censorship.

Now, if the statements of these professors being made public causes them to be ridiculed, or challenged to back up their assertions with logic and facts, and if they then feel inhibited from voicing opinions they can't support in such a fashion; that's the essence of free speech, the antithesis of censorship!

Correct...the word 'censorship' is thrown around by the Left as much as 'diversity'...the goverment is not part of this backlash...it is business and the students and parents who pay tuition...
