More Modern Myths

Two more modern-day myths shot down in one fell swoop:

Institutes of higher education are seats of learning....

Each citizen is guaranteed the right to freedom of speech as an essential liberty by the Constitution of the United States....

Well, unless you happen to be a student in a public speaking class at Los Angeles City College taking an anti-gay marriage stance. There, freedom of speech is but a myth; speaking your opinion and citing your religion deem you to be a "fascist bastard," and the only education you can expect to receive (after you have paid your tuition in full, of course) is from the School of Hard Knocks.

Yet again, people's "tender sensibilities" are offended simply because someone does not agree with their opinion, and the offender's opinion is automatically henceforth and forevermore....

HATE SPEECH.
