Colorado State University embraces a lot of free speech opportunities; especially right on campus.
On any given afternoon, with Colorado weather permitting, it is not uncommon to come across a crowd of people discussing a political issue such as religion or even something a little more mundane like minimum wage prices that don’t necessarily always force your hand to get involved.
