Observations On The Washington Post Op-Ed, “Why America Needs A Hate Speech Law”

Here is the sub-headline:

From Ethics Alarms, by Blogger Jack Marshall, 30 October 2019.

Here is the lede:

Richard Stengel, a frequent contributor on MSNBC, a former editor of Time magazine, and the State Department’s undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs in the Obama administration from 2013 to 2016 wrote this embarrassing, anti-free speech screed.

At The Washington Post.

Why is this even a question?

Should this talk of limited free speech not just be flatly condemned by every red blooded American?

One of the images I have in my mind about the National Socialist era in Germany, aside from Kristallnacht (Crystal Night), is the book burnings.  A terrible civic action.
