Generations of Americans have held firm to a version of free speech that makes room for even the vilest of views.

To the Editor:
When the vitriol of those who lack a moral compass reaches the crescendo that has enveloped some of America’s once-proud university campuses and the leadership of those institutions stand mute or are mealy mouthed, the time for inaction has passed. The message is clear: as a nation, we are in deep trouble; Democracy is again being tested and some of its leaders are AWOL.
