University free speech requirement

mardi 25 mai 2021 à 02:00

An argument against the UK's proposed university free speech requirement shows real problems, but it also shows that the author (Renton) advocates a lot of censorship.

Naturally, right-wing politicians in power will try to crush dissent. The solutions they propose will tend to be unfair. But that doesn't mean there is no problem.
