WAKE UP CALL: We Ignore Attacks on Free Speech at our Own Peril themindguild.com/wake-up-call-we-ignore-attacks-on-free-speech-at-our-own-peril December 10, 2019
If our society is indeed a free society, then everyone should be allowed to set their own path, follow their own personal goals, and enjoy freedom of thought. But it seems that in America today, we are seeing that long viewed norms and taboos are being viewed differently. Since we have our First Amendment, this is how it should be – except that many long standing norms are now being suppressed. The irony is that these norms are suppressed in arenas and by groups who have been long defined as the most tolerant. We are talking about college campuses and progressives. They are choosing to redefine any norms as “hate speech” in order to have them suppressed. And this is done without any regard of the basis used to call it hate speech.
