Does Free Speech Offend You? (965 hits)

Does Free Speech Offend You?

Should offensive speech be banned? Where should we, as a society, draw the line where permitted speech is on one side, and forbidden speech is on the other? Should we even have that line? And should free speech be limited by things like trigger warnings and punishments for microaggressions? Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, answers these questions and more.

People are ruled by their emotions, are slaves to their animal nature.

Did you hear what this man said at the beginning of this report, let us take a moment to review what was said here.

Freedom of speech, the ability to express yourself. It's a cherished idea, as well it should be. Most of us who live in liberal Western democracies think, of it (FREE SPEECH) as a basic human right. But now we may be in danger of losing it.

That speaks volumes, right there. Where would you be if, we where to LOSE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

Your freedoms will be taken just because you are not in the ruling class.

Where would you be if, we where to LOSE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

Ron, nobody can take my freedom of speech from me. It's an inalienable right.

Some of them will end up in politics no doubt. What our colleges do about their speech is up to them. I'm glad I was educated 40 years ago.
