Full story

The legal case of Faruqi v Hanson is proceeding. The author argues that freedom of speech requires defending views that offend. True support for this right means protecting expression regardless of whether the views are pleasing or offensive.

Unless you’re willing to defend the right to express views that offend just as strongly as views that gladden your heart, you can’t be taken seriously about freedom of speech.
