The First Amendment states that “freedom of speech” is a fundamental right in the U.S. Freedom of speech is the right to, without fear of being restrained, express opinions and views freely.

Yet today, in America as in many ostensibly liberal nations, the freedom to speak one’s mind is under assault.” (Jonathan H.
