I appreciate the duality of your OpEd. It is both part education on the history of Palestine and part reminder that although we have these "rights" we must protect and work for them. Free speech isn't free, but if we don't stand up when it is being squashed, free speech will disappear.

And while I know that free speech on college campuses is a touch stone right now, this ISC news coupled with Columbia's calling th3 NYPD on peaceful students and protesters, is ample reason to continue writing posts like this one.

Thank you for your words and all of your support! I think that it is critically important for all of us who see the implications of free speech being silenced to raise our voices within our own areas of influence! Keep sharing your own powerful voice as well!

"the complexion for protection" really says it all. Free speech for thee, but not for me! These same people that love all that DJT says start grabbing their pearls when they are called to the carpet. This cleary shows that they think they are better than others. Keep up the good work, sir! Speak out and speak up!
