… You Can’t Handle The Truth: The Importance of Free Speech on Campus - The Georgetown Voice.

My aim in this chronology is simply to bring forward the sharp contrast between the state of free speech as an aspirational end in times past and free speech as, at best, an arbitrary means among students at Georgetown. Throughout previous centuries, blood was spilled, monarchs were toppled, and popular assemblies were convened in the hope of someday achieving unrestricted speech. Today, far too many Georgetown students view free speech as a threat to some more noble and remarkably (though unsurprisingly) elusive goal.
