NightSide - Another College Cracking Down On Free Speech

BOSTON (CBS) - Ohio University has a graffiti wall outside Bentley Hall, on which students are allowed to paint pictures and messages.

The president agreed the messages were inappropriate, and they were painted over.

How will these students ever function in the real world, where there are no "safe spaces"?
