There used to be some debate on the margins. Conservatives were wary of extending free speech protection to corrosive things like pornography, and liberals were wary of official speech endorsing religion. But, as recently as the 1990s, neither side believed its opponent should be censored, and the idea of exempting “hate speech” from the normal rule against censorship did not have much traction.

ReplyDeleteThe only censorship I accept is by civility. Exercising politeness. That rests solely with the individual. No government at any level will censor me. In fact, any attempt will only incur my wrath. That acts to lessen my self-imposed regulation.
