I live in North Carolina, and a local news story came to mind. Basically there is a 'free speech' tunnel at NC state. Someone posted some 'hate' speech in the supposedly 'free speech' tunnel, and everyone is getting their shorts in a bunch.
I have yet to hear the sheer irony of a 'free speech' tunnel that limits speech to what we find 'acceptable'. Might be better termed a 'politically correct' free speech site.
The erosion of free speech by so called 'social' justice advocates is nothing less that restraint of free speech.
While I think that prejudice and hate have NO place in a society, 'free speech' does allow such people, no matter how much I dislike them, to have a voice.
If we want to get righteous about it, why not just go to various countries where people are killed for their opinions. The slippery slope to fascism begins with restraint of 'inappropriate' speech.
