Thanks for this information Vanessa and thank you for your courage in jumping into such a thorny debate. For some reason it mirrors my experience of the Ivy league presidents attempting to defend freedom of speech in the face of Jewish/Zionist annihilation speech. What a loaded cluster. Today I was reminded of the Chompsky styled, Civil Liberties Union carried defenses of offensive speech over the years. It is a real mind bender.
I took a quick look for quotes on freedom of speech and found this for us.
Silence is golden but when it threatens your freedom it's yellow.
Edmund Burke
I wish I did not have a horse in this fight because in our modern predicament, it is difficult to know which way to ride. Perhaps one day I can tell you that I am not flummoxed.
