The Growing Threat to Free Speech with Kim Strassel

Free speech is under attack today at every turn. “Cancel Culture,” already toxic on college campuses, has migrated to journalism and other employers. Many are concerned about content moderation by major social media platforms. Even parents speaking up at school board meetings are being targeted by law enforcement. And, in violation of the First Amendment, governments are trying to compel speech by private actors such as Colorado baker Jack Phillips.

How great are these threats to free speech and to our culture of free inquiry, citizen participation in democracy, and freedom of conscience? 

Please join IPI in Dallas on November 16 for “The Growing Threat to Free Speech” with Kim Strassel, the next in our Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series luncheons.
