Unprecedented efforts are now underway to restrict what ideas can be promoted and discussed in university classrooms.

Those assumptions might always have been more hopeful than sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA battle over the control of the university classroom is now brewing, and the courts will be called upon to establish clearer guidelines as to what – if any – limits legislatures might have in dictating what is taught in public universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this path-breaking book, \u003cem\u003eKeith Whittington\u003c\/em\u003e argues that the First Amendment imposes meaningful limits on how government officials can restrict the ideas discussed on university campuses.
