For Americans who believe one of the greatest rights is that of free speech, Donald Trump is doing America another amazing favor by by bringing his class action law on behalf of Neanderthals and deplorables.
Liberals have to be upset because they only favor what they say and have little desire to hear what others think. |
What Trump is about is protecting Free Speech which, given the opportunity, is slowly spreading and returning to it's rightful place in our society. If we are able to restore this right to it's rightful place in society we will have proven you can put toothpaste back in the tube:

Welcoming New Board of Advisors Members
This week, we welcomed our newest members to the FAIR
Board of Advisors: Yiatin Chu, Alan Charles Kors, and Angel Eduardo.
An immigrant from Taiwan, Yiatin Chu has worked
tirelessly to advocate for the implementation of pro-human values in education.
Alan Charles Kors is a distinguished historian of the
Enlightenment and co-founder of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education
(FIRE) with a lengthy track record of standing up for pro-human values.
Angel Eduardo Angel is a writer, musician, and visual
artist committed to fostering a productive, compassionate, pro-human approach to discourse on difficult
topics. He has written for Newsweek, Areo Magazine, and the
Center for Inquiry, where he contributes a monthly column called Searching
for Better Angels. Read his work here.

A Pro-Human Alternative to CRT
Two weeks ago, FAIR released the first draft of our Pro-Human Learning Standards. Since then, we have
received feedback from our supporters and released a new version.
The FAIR Pro-Human Learning Standards provide essential
guidance for teaching and learning about the histories, experiences, and
contributions of people of different cultural and ancestral backgrounds in
the U.S. These standards can be used to inform and guide curricula in
Ethnic or Racial Studies, History/Social Studies, and Civics. Existing
standards in these subject areas provide either cynical or triumphal views;
the FAIR standards avoid both mistakes. While honestly acknowledging the
injustices and failures of the American past, our standards emphasize
constructive principles that inspire optimism for the American future.

Last week, the 5th Circuit issued an important
decision relating to compelled speech in public schools. In that case,
Oliver v. Arnold, the teacher instructed students to transcribe the
Pledge of Allegiance. A student who disagreed with the Pledge declined
to complete the assignment and instead drew a squiggly line. The
teacher penalized the student and she filed suit, claiming violation of
her First Amendment right against compelled speech. The district court
denied the teacher’s motion for summary judgment, and the teacher
appealed. The 5th Circuit dismissed the appeal, holding that a school
assignment can constitute unlawful compelled speech if it requires
a “written oath of allegiance” from students.

For Arc Digital, Cathy Young wrote a
piece dissecting how the term “white privilege” is inherently
regressive when applied in discourse, especially when issues of class
are considered.
“... it’s possible to recognize that racism (the
‘old-fashioned,’ not ‘woke’ kind) exists in America and to believe that
the ‘white privilege’ framework is an extremely misleading and even
counterproductive way to talk about it.”

For her Substack, Katherine Brodsky wrote an
insightful essay on the practice of redefining words for political
purposes and its detrimental effects on discourse.
“This phenomenon occurs when groups of people
pillage a particular word or term, declare their own definition of it
and then insist that the rest of us accept that very definition and all
the beliefs systems that follow it.”

For The New York Times, Ross Douthat wrote an
op-ed on the pitfalls of teaching about “systemic racism” yet why there
is a necessary discussion to be had on its implementation.
“What’s really inflaming today’s fights, though, is
that the structural-racist diagnosis isn’t being offered on its own.
Instead it’s yoked to two sweeping theories about how to fight the
problem it describes.”

FAIR Advisors Thomas Chatterton Williams and Kmele
Foster teamed up with David French and Jason Stanley to write an op-ed
for The New York Times about their unified opposition against
the effort to ban CRT in education, despite their opposition to neo-racist practices unfolding in K-12 schools
across the country.
“Even if this censorship is legal in the narrow
context of public primary and secondary education, it is antithetical
to educating students in the culture of American free expression.”

In a piece for The Atlantic, FAIR
Advisor John McWhorter draws upon his background in linguistics
to criticize the policing of language from Brandeis University’s
Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center.
“In the end, working to change conditions is much
more important than obsessively curating the words and expressions we
use to describe them.”

For the Center for Inquiry, FAIR Advisor Angel
Eduardo wrote a heartening essay on how his life story is living
proof that the “American Dream” is real and something we must
continue to strive for.
“Much like its founders, and much like ourselves,
our country falls short in many ways. We are too often arrogant and
infantile, petulant and obtuse, myopic and solipsistic. We have often
failed to live up to our ideal, and we will continue to for as long as
we are here. But the beauty of the American project is its capacity for
self-correction.”

For her podcast Honestly, FAIR Advisor Bari
Weiss sat down with Winston Marshall, a former member of the band Mumford
& Sons. Marshall departed the band after facing an online mob for
his endorsement of journalist Andy Ngo's book covering the inner
workings of ANTIFA.
“I could remain and continue to self-censor but it
will erode my sense of integrity. Gnaw my conscience. I’ve already felt
that beginning.”
