LBN-COMMENTARY by JOHN STOSSEL: We
take free speech for granted in America,
unlike elsewhere. The furor over that
anti-Muslim video is the latest reminder of that.
But freedom of speech is never
safe, even here. Many colleges now impose
“civility codes.” Civility is nice,
but enforcing a “civility rule” against offensive
speech would put an end to
lots of useful provocative speech. As a University
of North Carolina student put
it, “A picture of Mitt Romney would offend
70 percent of residence hall
students.”
