12 worst colleges for free speech

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has released it list of 12 worst colleges in terms of respecting free speech and press. Note that private institutions are not covered by the Bill of Rights but that free speech is consistent with academic freedom and open education. Notice that most of these are in the upper mid-west, northeast and New England. If you have time, read the individual profiles of each school and decide for yourself whether the "victims" of censorship were generally spouting liberal or conservative ideas. I believe you will see a clear trend. Are these places educating or indoctrinating? More hypocrisy about civil rights! First Amendment protection for the ideas I like. No protection for the ideas I don't' like.
