Free speech training required at Iowa universities

Who would have ever thought our "educators of higher learning" at institutions in the state of Iowa would be "required" to take special training related to understanding and teaching free speech? This is absolutely unbelievable.
You have to start by asking yourself who the majority of these educators politically support. And do they even meet their own standards for diversity they expect from others? This answer is obvious — they don't.
The future? Vote, continue to expose this kind of destructive free speech opposition and take away certain financial support.
Thanks to the Board of Regents, at least in Iowa, for their actions. Many of us now know why you would never wear a certain political hat on any of those campuses and why our political signs keep getting stolen.
