Former ACLU president Nadine Strossen believe freedom of expression is under attack in the United States, and offers her thoughts on Missouri v. Biden, Ron DeSantis's educational reforms, and campus speech codes.
Former ACLU president Nadine Strossen calls out the left and right for infringing upon right to free speech
Strossen, currently a professor at New York Law School, has emerged as a key voice in the fight for freedom speech, and offers up criticism of both the left and right, as she advocates for a robust interpretation of the First Amendment. Recent revelations about heavy-handed government oversight of social media companies are of concern to her.
"Yes, government officials are allowed to encourage, to persuade, to urge private sector platforms to take down certain messages, or exclude certain speakers. That is their own free speech right. But when they cross the line from protected encouragement to unprotected coercion, that's a serious First Amendment problem but much harder to address," she added.
In the context of education policy, Strossen believes that the American public should be cognizant of the frequent discrepancy between a law's intended purpose, and its potential for use and even abuse. She pointed to recent legislation in Florida that aimed to combat"indoctrination." "On many college campuses…students are saying we should be protected from harmful speech. A speaker comes to campus, including by the way an elected official, whose ideas on issues ranging from immigration to police practices to gender and so forth, the students dislike, disagree with," she said."They say ‘this is harmful and that it constitutes hate speech’, that should be punished.
