Museum Of Art Freedom Of Expression

Art helps us t...

Kill An Idea Free Speech People
821 wordsCensorship is a great temptation, particularly when we see something that offends or frightens us. At such times, our best defense is to remember what J. M.

The one who pronounces the ban becomes, in effect, the blind one, the one at the center of the ring in the game of blind mans bluff. But the new landscape of ideas and their control leaves many ...
