Chilling effects of Trump’s war on free speech extend far beyond campus walls – and that’s the point

Affiliate Bruce Schneier and Faculty Associate Jon Penney note the chilling effects that the Trump administration's war on campus speech has had on student-activists, writing that "[Students] are self-censoring and disengaging from campaign activism to avoid punitive measures." This fear, Schneier and Penney note, "is doing the administration's work for it." Read more in The Conversation, where the pair concludes that resistance needs to become normalized in order to resist such chilling effects.
