Heather Hacker: Just another “extremist”: The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

ADF attorney Heather Gebelin Hacker writing at Speak Up Movement / University: “We know that ‘civility codes’ on college campuses are used to stifle speech (see, for example, the case of the College Republicans at San Francisco State University), which is why it is important to oppose them. (Ironically, they were also used by government officials to silence speech during the Civil Rights Movement. Many of the foundational free speech cases come from that era.) We must remember that simply because someone does not like what they hear does not mean the truth should not be spoken.”
