I know a little bit about the kinds of speech that are generally welcomed on campus.

With former teacher Joy Behar moderating Friday’s episode of The View, the ABC hosts teamed up with President Biden’s Education secretary, Miguel Cardona to blast the idea that states should have the right to determine what their education standards should be and what’s in their curriculums.
