Michael Samaritano is a sophomore at Yale and winner of the National Review's William F. Buckley Jr. essay contest. Are universities today really the hostile political battlegrounds we see playing out on social media? What are the consequences for conservatives who express their beliefs in the classroom?

Michael brings his experience at Yale to give us helpful insights into all these questions.
