One of the most important freedoms sought by our Founding Fathers was the right to free speech. Under the British monarchy, they were not allowed to criticize or say anything against the King or British government. To do so could mean imprisonment or worse. This is what prompted them to make free speech the first item guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
Over the past several years, we’ve seen a growing number of attempts to limit free speech by the Obama administration. Barack Obama has used the IRS to target his political enemies in such way as to penalize them for exercising their rights of free speech. He has the NSA spying on our emails, phone calls and text messages, looking for things to use against us. He has used the courts to quell the free speech and the exercise of religion of Christians in their business dealings and messages from the pulpit.
Now, a columnist for the Harvard Crimson, the university’s campus newspaper is telling school officials that they need to start abolishing free speech and research that goes against the school’s liberal ideology. Sandra Korn, a senior wrote (The Doctrine of Academic Freedom Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice) in which she states:.......

Just to look at her, I’d think she was probably a decent person. Her politics make her very ugly. I’d love to see her in full lib melt-down mode.
Freedom is slavery....
Going to have to get that hair cut if she wants to sell fast food to the public...
She’s probably serious, but it’s still a parody — of itself.
Put her in a set of flannel pajamas and she and PJ Boy would make a cute couple, IMO.
I’ve always said, that occasionally, liberals speak the truth, albeit inadvertently.
“You have every right to your own opinion — as long as it agrees with mine.”
Sandra Kornball, ever thought that free speech is what you can say if SANE people hate it? Free speech is for all - for all from SANE people (Conservatives) and LIBERALS, not just for you!
they couldn’t write against the British king or government or they’d go to jail? Where did she study history.
cut her hair, put on some decent makeup and get rid of the glasses, and she might be good looking.
That in itself says a lot about her.
