Jason Antebi on Hopkins and Facebook
Jason Antebi, a graduate of Occidental College who suffered one of the worst abuses of campus rights that FIREhas encountered, has in FrontPage Magazine today on Johns Hopkins鈥 inexcusable treatment of student Justin Park. Antebi points out, disturbingly, that 鈥淧ark鈥檚 case is not an anomaly,鈥 and goes on to write a good review of several situations where college students have been punished for online expression. For a disturbing reminder, if one is needed, that college censorship is now spreading its reach even to the World Wide Web, Antebi鈥檚 article is worth a read.
