Recent political violence – and a government shutdown – have turned American politics into a mudslinging free for all.
With more attention on owning the other side – and less emphasis on civility, are there still safe spaces for debate? On college campuses a new survey says more students are self-censoring in favor of speaking freely.
Today on The Wheelhouse, a temperature check on political dialogue with a college Democrat and a college Republican. How are these Connecticut students charting a path forward?
GUESTS:
- Geoffrey Medeiros, president of College Republicans, University of Connecticut
- Ryan Rosario, president of College Democrats, University of Connecticut
- Bilal Sekou, Associate professor of political science, University of Hartford
- Jonathan Wharton, Associate professor of political science and urban affairs, Southern Connecticut State University
