Freedom of speech is one of the defining features of America, and Trump’s presidency has generated a toxic environment for those who disagree with each other. Numerous college campuses have begun restricting freedom of speech to lessen conflict, costing some students the right to pray or peacefully promote their beliefs (Maloney Jr. 5). Most recently, protesters at Middlebury College in Vermont prevented Charles Murray, a conservative political scientist, from speaking and injured a professor…

Overtime In the United States, freedom of speech is a right inscribed in the laws which govern and protect the land. Meaning we, as citizens, are entitled to what would be considered a privilege in many other countries. It is this right, however, which has prompted the violence and divide seen in college campuses. Not the unification much anticipated. Freedom of speech has been made the villain, it seems, standing in the way of the Leftists at Berkeley. Protest groups and their need for “closed…

Self-censorship is the act of editing and suppressing one’s beliefs or creations in any sort of medium as a response to a real or perceived fear. This phenomenon is globally prevalent, making it critical to investigate the implications of a variety of aspects that shape a country, including its predominant religion, political regime, and social norms to determine how each affects the existence and magnitude of self-censorship. My analysis on self-censorship in this essay will be in the context…

Jordan Bush Professor Howard English 101 19 September 2015 Colleges Should Strive For Freedom and Diversity Political Correctness in Colleges does not allow for academic freedom or intellectual diversity.

states that the only limitation that should be placed on the actions of an individual are restrictions preventing harm being done to others. In other words, everyone should be left to do whatever they please as long as their actions do not pose any real harm or risks to others, or infringe upon their rights in any way. According to Mill, “no one should be forcibly prevented from acting in any way he chooses provided his acts are not invasive of the free acts of others”. Actions only affecting…

Ryder Kessler, he states “The attempt to save our children from what we regard as dangerous knowledge is likely in our times to be a locking of the stable door after the steed is stolen.” Children all around the world are already exposed to a lot, real life situations will not harm them. No one forces parents to have their children view inappropriate material. Most material released to the public are rated and reviewed to a certain standard.

Though in secondary education it should be all access, since at that point students are beginning to choose what the wish to pursue in their lives, so why limit what they should can be exposed to, as in real life you encounter many diverse viewpoints in topics. In Marilyn Maxwell and Marlene Berman's essay To Ban or Not to Ban: Confronting the Issue of Censorship in the English Class they discuss why it is illogical to censor and/or outright ban books…

the United States has been buffeted with cases of civil liberty- the basic rights and freedoms that make every citizen human. These issues of the American past have yet to be rectified due to the persistence, remembrance, and exclusivity of human nature. Through the utilization of an unrivaled tenacity, those opposed to progress have found loophole after loophole to prevent the allowance of full civil freedom. This is seen in the series of events that Sojourner Truth calls out during her…
