My professor mentioned a 1977 Supreme Court case about a Nazi march, and it got me thinking

He said the ruling protected the group's right to assemble in Skokie, Illinois, even though their message was vile. Makes you wonder where that line gets drawn on a modern campus, doesn't it?

Just got back from a trip to a small town in the mountains and the local paper had a huge blank space where a story should have been.

The editor, who I met at a cafe, quietly told me 'that issue is not for sale here' when I asked about it, which makes you wonder what they're trying to keep quiet.

Our book club's 'Project Hail Mary' debate completely derailed over the oxygen scene

One member insisted the algae math was fundamentally flawed, and the whole 2-hour meeting turned into a shouting match about fictional botany. Has anyone else had a club meeting implode over a single plot point?

My cousin's banned cartoon sparked a free speech fight at Christmas

My grandma tried to shut down any talk about TV shows she didn't like during the holidays. When my cousin mentioned that cool cartoon that got removed from a streaming site, everyone started arguing about if she could ban topics. We ended up in a silly but serious talk about who gets to control conversations in a family. It was a weird lesson on how even small censorships can feel big.

So frustrated after my coffee tasting tour in Paris was canceled last minute.
