Free speech

Former President Obama said something yesterday that caught my attention because is it something that people today, including teachers, have to deal with when he said that people feel like they are walking on eggshells. And sometimes Democrats are, right? You know, sometimes, people just want to not feel as if they are walking on eggshells," I have heard teachers use those very words when describing why they must avoid certain phrases, things like: God family and country All lives matter Make America great Single parent homes and poverty Illegal immigrant The national anthem and the flag Nuclear family These word police are a threat to free speech and they use cancel culture to enforce their illegal activity. People who use words that are considered to be unacceptable are shamed and ridiculed into submission. In some cases they lose their jobs. A common refrain from those who have been accused is where to I get my reputation back. There is currently a national uproar for people who say the election was rigged. This may not be true and in fact it may be a lie but people have a right to lie. You can say the eating rat poison is good for you. You can say that cutting off your hair will make you live longer. You can say all sorts of ridiculous things because of the free speech part of the first amendment. Speech is limited only by what is illegal and that involves slander and liable. Simply put this means be careful what you say about people.
