In addition to ideological partisanship, the disagreement about the state of free speech reveals that many Americans have a reductionist and parochial understanding of this freedom, which they view as being identical to the First Amendment. The history of free speech suggests that the Times has a point and that its critics view this freedom through a too-narrow lens. ![]() This piece is available in audio format on our podcast, “ Heterodox Out Loud: the best of the HxA blog.” Narration begins at 1:30.ĭoes America have a free speech problem?
