From campus protests to fake news, a public debate is raging around the perceived need to limit certain kinds of speech. Should we restrict public discourse on the grounds that it is undesirable, offensive, or even dangerous? Who can we entrust with the responsibility to discern what is true in a world where people are so easily manipulated? Does a rigid defense of individual liberty conflict with the needs of society as a whole? Join us in a discussion about the personal responsibilities that come with freedom of speech, and when personal responsibility perhaps isn’t enough.
