Viac o knihe

The book explores two contrasting cases from the 1960s involving professors Leo Koch and Revilo Oliver, highlighting the complexities of free speech and academic freedom. Koch was dismissed for advocating premarital sex, while Oliver retained his position after making white supremacist comments. Matthew Ehrlich analyzes these incidents to reveal the evolving landscape of beliefs and values in academia, reflecting ongoing societal divides. The narrative situates these controversies within the broader context of the era's social and political changes, presenting a compelling examination of campus debates that resonate today.
