In a recent issue of National Review, Jay had a piece called “Underground at Brown: A secret forum in which people can talk.” Later, he did a larger Web version, here. At Brown, there is a secret Facebook group in which students can talk freely. They can talk about whatever they like, including controversial issues. Shouldn’t they be able to do that out in the open, above ground? Yes – but the atmosphere at Brown, as at other universities around the country, makes that impossible.

For his piece, Jay interviewed two students: Chris Robotham, the founder of the group, and Marie Willersrud, a member (who is from Oslo, Norway). Jay thought you might like to hear from these two directly – so here they are, on “Q&A.” They are gutsy, bright, and wonderful minds and spirits. They are, really, the pride of their university.
