Intentional malicious misinformation shouldn’t be allowed. But it does need to be held to high standard.
I think of LGBT+ shouldn’t be a part of elementary/middle school curriculums. But if the students bring it up, that’s fine. Kids are very impressionable, and I worry about LGBT+ just becoming something that is cool.
(Also, I think enforcing gender roles is dumb. If a boy wants to play with dolls or have long hair, that’s fine. Same thing for girls.)
And I don’t think people should be canceled for speaking their mind. That’s a great way to stop debate, which leads to people just trying to fit in, and stops people from making their own conclusions. Just because it’s your right, doesn’t mean I can’t argue over how you exercise it.
Defending a position by citing free speech is the ultimate concession; you’re saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it’s not literally illegal to express.
