Constructive Commentaries
Choice Free Speech on College Campuses Recommended Books Edition
I’m pleased to share that Choice (a publishing unit of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association Campus) has featured Campus Misinformation: The Real Threat to Free Speech in American Higher Education in its recommended books about defending rights of free speech on college campuses.
Campus Misinformation is listed as “Highly Recommended.” The review calls it a “thought-provoking book [that] makes a substantial contribution to ongoing discussions about freedom of speech both within and outside the realm of college campuses.”
I’m also gratified that my book is featured alongside some truly excellent books on this topic, which I encourage readers to consider:
