I'm in the Star Tribune with some thoughts about Hamline University's academic freedom violations and the very foolish idea of essentially instituting a blasphemy ban.

A blasphemy exception is not a narrow, reasonable cutout that protects students from "harm." Don't believe me? Just take a cursory look at what constitutes religious offense around the world.

Banning blasphemy, Hamline cancels academic freedom

This decision opens Pandora's box of academic restrictions.
