“Rosenbaum has accomplished what multitudes of professors long for and so rarely achieve: He has set the terms for public debate.”

- The New York Time Education column

 

In an era of political correctness, race-baiting, terrorist incitement, the shouting down of speakers, and ‘fake news,’ liberals and conservatives are up in arms both about speech and its excesses, and what the First Amendment means.  Speech has been weaponized. Our nation’s founders did not envision speech as a license to trample on the rights of others.  And the Supreme Court has decided cases where certain categories of speech are already prohibited without violating the Constitution. Saving Free Speech...From Itself helps us understand this important issue that is at the heart of our society and politics.
