It is no secret that free speech on college campuses is under attack. But is this new model for campus speech in line with University of Virginia’s founder, Thomas Jefferson? On February 21, 2023, Common Sense Society and The Jefferson Council hosted a discussion with Douglas Murray on free speech and Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia.
