In this week’s Clarion Call, my Pope Center colleague Jay Schalin writes about an unexpected event — an outbreak of civilized debate at UNC. Last spring, freedom of speech was on life-support as leftist protesters disrupted talks by speakers they didn’t like and didn’t think anyone should be allowed to listen to. This fall, however, the school has had a cornucopia of talks and debates featuring speakers all across the political and philosophical spectrum. This is a big step in the right direction for UNC.
