This article is written by Lauren Camera who is a very credible educational writer for the U.S. news and world report. The article is about past free speech advocates now supporting Ann Coulter's right to speak at Berkeley even though they disagree with her beliefs. There are many mixed feelings on how the situation should be handled and it is a very hot topic right now.

The way this article relates to our curriculum is because free speech is something that we have discussed heavily. We also have discussed court cases that deal with first amendment rights and situations similar to this one. Public opinion is very controversial right now and it will be interesting to see if policy changes.

I think that if the school allows for guest speakers and if there is a large enough following that wants to hear her speak, then there is no reason she should not be aloud. I do not think that anyone should be forced to listen and I do not think she should be speaking in a place where those who might be offended by her views can hear her. Now if the school declines to have her speak, I think its is fine they just have to be fair in all cases.
