The instinct to protect civil debate is commendable. But FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT is presently being smothered by self-appointed guardians of political correctness who hide their own less than benign agendas.
Again and again it is not crude racism that is censored - self-damning and self-ostracizing - but unpopular and controversial IDEAS & OPINIONS.
I want to judge for myself somebody's heart and mind. I don't need the moral protection of sanctimonious and PAID censors often employed by a smug elite.
Neither the so called Left nor the so called Right in the USA is showing much tolerance for FREE SPEECH. But the left-wing fascism is on display in many college campuses and university campuses - like Brown, Yale, Harvard , Princeton- where oh-so-PROGRESSIVE kids shout down and disrupt conservative speakers .
Nothing inspiring and instructive about fanatical GROUP THINK .
