University of Chicago Students Call On Anti-Israel Prof Mearsheimer to Retire
I disagree completely with you. The right to free speech includes the right to offend and say bigoted and hateful things, even, if those things are said against people who are Jewish. This is the American tradition. And it is a tradition worth defending.
Stopping the free expression of ideas that one finds objectionable, whether done by the Left (often and as a matter of habit), or the right (now Ms. Rogers and PJ media) is contrary to free expression.
Ms. Rogers might be surprised to learn that her position is no different from that of Mark Potok at the SPLC. It might be a way of life for those steeped in Marxist thought regardless of whether they stand politically to shut down the thoughts and the livelihoods and often even the lives of those they disagree with. But that is not the tradition of open inquiry that was the philosophical foundation of which this country was built. I will defend your right to express your ideas Ms. Rogers, and I will not advocate your dismissal even if I could, but I will likely avoid reading your future posts based on what you have written here today.
