Mad ups to Stan Simpson, Bob Englehart, Timothy Chambers, and Bessy Reyna for their speaking out in the Courant -- now that's some free speech I can get behind because it 1) pushes us to think (no one is afraid of controversy, after all); 2) speaks truths without intimidating and harassing entire groups of people, thereby protecting the Fourteenth Amendment as well as the First; and 3) encourages real free speech, not Rowan-exclusive speech masquerading as free speech.
And Englehart is a cartoonist -- perhaps the one with the dog in this particular fight -- and he's speaking truth to power about publishing, controversy, and responsibility. If only I were a journalism major at CCSU...well...I still aspire to work with the likes of such conscientious and thoughtful people with whom I may not agree but with whom I can enjoy an intelligent discussion about rights -- and what is the right thing to do.
Right(s) on!!
