Free Speech?

[naomi24]

Angelos Sofocleous, a Durham University student, whose tweet “women don’t have penises” provoked a transphobic row, has been banned by the student union from taking part in a debate about free speech.

Ironic that the subject under debate is free speech, so should free speech mean free speech – or should it be curtailed and the speaker rejected simply because his opinion, albeit clearly accurate, doesn't meet with the approval of other people?

Students are children in adult garb. Ten years ago they were playing with toys and games. Let them stand now on tip toe and make a shout. In ten years time no job, no prospects, a loveless marriage, the responsibility of parenting, hate crimes, the rush hour, and death and illness with quell their ardour. Their future is bleak let them play today.

I stand with Angelos.

Now what's in the bag?
