Part of our problem is that we have defined 'free speech' down to the point where sedition and treason are excusable offenses. I will point out that the 'free speech' sword only cuts one way. If I stood on that campus and called for a million Kent States, or perhaps a million lynchings of blacks, how long would I hold my job?

When sedition and treason are defined as just another opinion, where do you suppose that we go from there?

You have a good point. Free speech does seem to apply only to certain issues, but not to others. You're right, and it bugs me to no end. In reality we have selective free speech, which is not true free speech.
