Re: “In Charlie Hebdo snub, a failure to support free speech,” April 28 editorial.
Thanks for the editorial regarding free speech and your defense of free speech regarding the Charlie Hebdo murders. Unfortunately, free speech in America has already taken a huge hit with the raft of “hate speech” laws and rules regulating speech on our college campuses. The press is hysterical regarding free speech for itself, but has dropped the ball on these issues.
