(Fox News) The University of California's regents voted Thursday to scrap a proposed speech code after protests from free speech groups who called it a form of censorship, as well as from Jewish groups who said it did not do enough to address anti-Semitism.
About two dozen people gave input to the board of regents at their meeting at UC Irvine about the proposed "Statement of Principles Against Intolerance," which called for the university's 10 campuses to e "free from acts and expressions of intolerance." Among other things, the proposed statement would have prohibited "depicting or articulating a view of ethnic or racial groups as less ambitious, less hardworking or talented, or more threatening than other groups."
