Yesterday’s Readers’ Links I replied to an article link about freedom of speech. I read it too fast and got the author’s message precisely wrong. I’d like more discussion, but the article is good. Important.
Where Free Speech Ends and Lawbreaking Begins
The First Amendment does not give carte blanche to intimidation and harassment
– – What are some examples of protest activities that are rightly considered conduct rather than speech?
– – Are genocidal slogans like “globalize the intifada” or “from the river to the sea” protected by the First Amendment?
– – Wait, but isn’t shouting antisemitic epithets hate speech?
– – What about the interruption of classes and speakers by protesters? Isn’t this just more speech that’s protected by the First Amendment?
– – There have been reports at many campuses of professors celebrating Hamas’s massacre. Is this acceptable speech?
– – Many of the students who participated in the protests at MIT and elsewhere are foreign nationals. What are their free speech rights as noncitizens?
– – What if an institution knows that Jewish students are being threatened and does nothing, or creates impotent task forces without addressing immediate threats?
[or worse]
– – Is it legal to ban or suspend Students for Justice in Palestine from campus?
– – Some prominent alumni have suggested that businesses not hire students who have joined statements in favor of Hamas. Isn’t that participating in cancel culture?
You know when I’ll laugh? When the foreign workers in a place like Qatar revolt and engage in a bit of “open borders” of their own. Then it’ll be hilarious.

What’s Happened to Harvard?
“Since Harvard is a teaching institution, one must ask what can be taught to someone who effectively cheers on the beheading of babies.”
