If you're not reading the Hillsdale College publication called Imprimis, I recommend starting today. It's free. You can also have it mailed to your house for free, if your mailbox doesn't have enough stuff in it.
Here is an article written for Imprimis by University of Pennsylvania Law Professor Amy L. Wax, on whether or not we are free to discuss America's real problems in our own terms. She wrote an op-ed on the state of American society, and it the article she praised a few of the societal traits from the 1960's that she believes would benefit today's generation. She named traits like getting married before having kids, staying married, respecting authority, etc. You'll see in the Imprimis article how Professor Wax was received by her colleagues, and in my opinion, the reception is disappointing, but unsurprising. It's clear that in today's academic environment, rational discourse and debate is limited. If you hold an opinion or idea that is counter to the status quo, left wing idea of the day, you're going to come up against people trying to simply shut you down.
