Bill would restrict freedoms

To the editor:This subscriber was astonished and appalled at the substance of the article by Mark Bliss on legislation (House Bill 213) being pushed by a couple of Cape Girardeau legislators to restrict freedom of speech and academic freedom of college professors.

That is, I was astounded until later in the article when it was noted that the chief proponents were the Southeast Missouri State University chapter of College Republicans. Then the substance of the article made a lot of sense. Or should I say nonsense?

BILL D. BURLISON, Advance, Mo.
