David French: Free Exchange on Campus Swings and Misses

By ADF Alliance Alert

ADF attorney David French, Director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, writes at the National Review Phi Beta Cons Blog: "Following a link at Inside Higher Ed, I stumbled across a new report from a group called Free Exchange on Campus (FEC), an umbrella organization of academic establishment groups and their allies (including the AAUP, the ACLU, and the American Federation of Teachers) that in practice seems dedicated not so much to "free exchange" but to opposing conservative critics of higher education. Their new report, which purports to expose the tactics and funding of conservative critics of higher ed, and which also attempts to make the larger point that our critique of higher education as a home of censorship, intolerance towards Christians and conservatives (especially when the two are combined), and all-too-common partisan quackery is overblown and 'manufactured.' Because this is a blog post and not a longer article, I'll focus my critique of the report on their description of the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom's work and cases."
