On episode 68, Charles talks to Keith Whittington, a professor at Yale Law School, about his new book, 'You Can't Teach That: The Battle over University Classrooms.' Among the topics discussed are why universities are different than K-12 schools; why governments (and taxpayers) can't decide what is taught, given that they're paying the bill; how Civil Rights law intersects with academic free speech; and how to prevent universities from becoming ideological bubbles.
