Speech

Free speech is under attack from all sides. Speakers are shouted down at various universities. Now those who are critical of Israel are called antisemitic. University professors are losing their jobs for not speaking out the way most want them to. This is all part of the cancel culture that has overtaken freedom of speech. People are afraid to say what is on their minds because they will be shouted down or worse. The age old tactic of calling people names when you cannot logically refute their arguments. A person should be allowed to criticize and if some disagree they can respond with a better argument but not to shut down speech. If you cannot express a reasonable difference of opinion perhaps it is time to reexamine your own position.
