On Monday at Lewis and Clark Law School, Christina Hoff Sommers attempted to speak as an invited guest of the law school's Federalist Society. Emina Melonic writes about the attempt at American Greatness, and wonders what the proper response really is when the freedom of speakers and attendees is violated.
The common man, who is supposed to be at the center of Marxist manifestos, is no longer there because professors and theoreticians are completely disconnected from the concerns of regular, working people.
