Professors at the school have vociferously opposed the visit by Sessions. In an open letter published ahead of the event, signed by around a third of the law school’s faculty, professors lambasted it as “hypocritical” and “troubling.”
“We, the undersigned, condemn the hypocrisy of Attorney General Sessions speaking about free speech,” the letter reads. “Sessions is a key cabinet member in an administration headed by a President who spent last weekend denouncing athletes engaging in free expression and calling for them to be fired.”



“This kind of government chilling of speech is precisely what the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is meant to prevent,” the letter continues. “A man who fails to recognize paradigmatic violations of the First Amendment is a poor choice to speak about free speech on campuses.”

So now we take a knee every time something happens we disagree with?

I guess it's an improvement over tearing down statues and blocking traffic.

You should have done so in 1992 when Bubba was treating an intern half his age like a humidor. Another outrage cheered on by American liberals.

It illustrates the depravity and hypocrisy of liberals very nicely. Thank you for appreciating it.
