The First Amendment and liberals

Working through a bachelor’s degree in journalism during the late 1960s, the First Amendment was hitting the courts hot and heavy. As a journalist and as a college newspaper advisor, I have defended first amendment rights for all journalists, including college journalists.

The liberal mentality, unfortunately, has invaded all levels of education to an abysmal degree.

Liberal Mantra: We believe in your First Amendment right – if we agree with what you say. If your verbiage runs counter to our liberal culture, you are hounded, vilified, persecuted, censored, shouted down and in some cases prosecuted.

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
