Common Sense and Wonder reports the happy news that a brushback pitch has just been thrown at U.S. college administrators and their creepy "campus speech codes." Used to squash dissent and enforce conformity, they have helped turn campuses into "islands of repression in a sea of freedom." Fortunately, Gerald A. Reynolds is Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. In his letter to university officials, he sounds rather like another Reynolds we know: bq. "Secretary Reynolds stated that universities would not be allowed "to regulate the content of speech" under the guise of preventing "harassment." Speech, said Reynolds, does not constitute "harassment" just because it offends someone. "In order to establish a hostile environment, harassment must be sufficiently serious (i.e., severe, persistent or pervasive) as to limit or deny a student's ability to participate in or benefit from an educational program," wrote Reynolds." About time. Long past it, actually. Too bad it won't happen in Canada.
