Free speech on campus?

It's a busy week for issues of free speech on school campuseseses.

In Colorado, one student turned to talk radio after his geography teacher compared George W. Bush to Adolf Schickelgruber Hitler in what, he says, was for the sake of promoting critical thinking about issues.

In New York state, a team of Advanced Placement students has put Bush on trial for war crimes. (For those who aren't familiar with the program, AP classes may exceed some college courses in terms of academic rigor, and the high school students may exceed some college students in terms of maturity.)

And across the nation, law schools lost their efforts to keep military recruiters off campus. It's interesting, when the lawyers training the lawyers get shot down by a unanimous panel of lawyers on the highest court.
