In this article the author explores the ways in which Title IX has been misused in recent years in the education system. He gives examples as too how some of the actions are infringements on free speech and how the law has been interpreted very freely to impose punishments and restrictions to students and faculty alike. This is a scholarly article on the matter. I will be using examples given to help give history on the matter of free speech in colleges in recent years as well as show the loose interpretations of legislation at the educational level.

Here we get a more in depth overview of free speech in public schools all the way to college. It gives many examples of court battles on the matter as well. Referencing the court battles as well as some of the legislation mentioned in a broad scope can help with backing up my points using facts from past occurances. This is from the Gale Encyclopedia of everyday law.

.In this journal the author is somebody who is opposed to the free speech movement and is critical of those in support and details that the motives are driven by colonial nostalgia and white supremacy. This article gives me a polarizing view on the integrity of the free speech movement. By suggesting ulterior motives and a different side to the argument that free speech is not being infringed upon. It provides counters to many arguments and can be a tool in finding a conclusion. This is an academic journal.
