Even-Though, we protect free speech, and have that right, it is just important if not more so, to put ethical and moral parameters in order to protect the 1st amendment rights against those who do not accept their personal responsibilities to equally respect others who have the same right.
We live in perilous times when it comes to free speech, and the threats are coming from both the left and right. The president has threatened legal action against the media, and progressive activists have used violence to shut down campus speakers they don’t like.
In The Los Angeles Times, former federal prosecutor Ken White has some sharp insights on how to fight back against the would-be censors by shredding the most-popular clichés used by people trying to make the rest of us shut the hell up.
If today’s calls for suppressing speech teaches us anything, it’s that we can never take the First Amendment for granted. Even if the Supreme Court is on our side, free expression will only continue to exists if we’re brave enough to make it ourselves.
