Academics often say that the answer to objectionable speech is more speech -- not censorship. But a flier campaign targeting a professor and adviser to Donald Trump at Michigan State University has some questioning the limits of that logic. An unidentified person or group reportedly posted a number of fliers on campus about Joseph Guzman, an assistant professor of human resources and labor relations who teaches in the Chicano/Latino studies program. Entitled “Meet Your Professor!,” the fliers highlight that Guzman was recently named to Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council. They feature an image of Guzman -- his head circled in red -- seated behind Trump at an August rally near Lansing, Mich., with the caption, “Guzman cheers on fascist oligarch while waving a ‘Make America Great Again’ sign.”
