Action to ensure free speech at UK universities.

"Universities must protect free speech and "open minds, not close them," Universities Minister Jo Johnson will say in a speech in Birmingham later.
He will say "no-platforming", the policy of banning controversial speakers, is stifling debate.
From next April, a new regulator - the Office for Students - will have the power to fine universities that fail to uphold free speech.
Universities UK has said it will not allow legitimate debate to be stifled."

"Young people should have the resilience and confidence to challenge controversial opinions and take part in open, frank and rigorous discussions."

Rather than ban controversial speakers, Universities should welcome them and then destroy them in debates. Our most intelligent people are those whose job it should be to expose lies and flawed beliefs.
