UNIVERSITY FREE SPEECH

Scottish pro-life students are being subjected to unjust censorship at the crippling hands of their Universities. Contrary to the Public Sector Equality Duty, outlined in the Equality Act, students from both The University of Glasgow and University of Strathclyde have been silenced in their quest to form pro-life societies, with such organisations now forbidden on campus. Once seen as a market place of ideas, a bastion of defiant free speech and radical debate, universities held the duty of broadening minds, expression and thought. This now blatant attack on the views and freedoms of pro-life students only highlights the crumbling pillars of academia, democracy and discussion, with the pro-life vision now supressed within.
