Freedom of speech limited

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter,” said George Washington. Students are having their right to free speech limited by the country that they love. They are having them limited in all aspects of their life, even by the college that they pay thousands of dollars to each year. This is something that is wrong, and needs to be addressed so these students don’t feel that their opinions are worthless and have no place. Students thinking as though their ideas do not matter is an injustice, one that our founders fought for.

We need to address this issue at its source in the liberal college administration. These administrations are so fragile in their anti-Christian doctrines that if a believer speaks out, all they can do is tell them it’s hate speech rather than have a debate (that they could lose, which would make them look bad). I hope that this issue will be addressed promptly so our college students graduate with more than just a diploma, so they graduate with their self-worth. God knows we all could use more of that.
