Who Bans Books?

For John, BLUF:  Individuals say stupid, ignorant things.  This is not a reason to ban them from speaking, except maybe by walking away.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

A Tweet on Book Banning

Here is the Tweet:

Vivek Ramaswamy  @VivekGRamaswamy  ·  Feb 25
Name ONE time in human history when the group fighting to ban books and censor speech were the good guys.

I’ll wait...

And Mr Ramaswamy will be waiting a long time.

We may not like the thoughts of others, but that does not give us the right to suppress those thoughts.  Fight them, yes.  Absolutely!  Suppressing them, by either Government action or by Mob action, is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
