HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Underground At Brown.

Let me say that again: At Brown, there is a secret forum in which students may discuss potentially controversial issues — or anything they want — freely. Yes, there is an underground group whose purpose is to allow kids to say what they ought to be free to say above ground. As David Frum remarked on Twitter, when he read the magazine piece, What is this? Warsaw 1983 or America 2015?

It is the goal of many in higher education to ensure that there’s as little difference as possible. Though Warsaw in 1983 at least had the U.S. government trying to promote freedom.
