Freedom of speech at Middlebury?

Nope. But if you really like the school dig deeper and see what is being done/or not to preserve/respect free speech. While you could go and ignore it, this may impact you ability to learn. For any school, free speech is entirely important to learn effectively and try on new ideas. I learned a lot in college about philosophies and views that were not my own. They only strengthened by ability to think. Sadly, believe that is missing from many campuses today.
