Just found out my college banned a speaker 20 years ago that I never knew about
I was digging through old campus newspaper archives for a history project, and I stumbled on a 2004 article about how Penn State blocked a Planned Parenthood rep from speaking at a student event. I always thought this free speech stuff was a recent fight, but it's been going on way longer than I realized. The article said the administration cited 'safety concerns' but the student group had already hosted similar events without issues. Has anyone else found old controversies at their school that got buried over time?
