I love the bill number. 😂

https://idahocapitalsun.com/2022/03/07/idaho-house-passes-bill-that-could-lead-to-prosecution-of-librarians-for-harmful-material/

But now I have been thinking. (Dangerous...🤔) I had a popular book in my #highschool #classroom which included alcohol use, date rape, incest, adultery, erotic poetic imagery, prostitution, murder, etc. Should I have removed/restricted it and advised my colleagues to do the same? Or would that have created #firstamendment problems? When one works in #education one cannot be too careful...

How Is The CIA Still A Thing?

'As much #light as #WikiLeaks has shone on the #dark #inner #workings of the #powerful over the years, the #persecution of #JulianAssange by those very same #power #structures has revealed far, far more. The more they seek to #persecute him the #brighter that #light #shines on them, making it easier and easier for us to see who they are, what they do, and how they do it.'

I strongly recommend this Radiolab episode on Free Speech and "The Marketplace of Ideas"

(from April 2021)

What Up Holmes?

Love it or hate it, the freedom to say obnoxious and subversive things is the quintessence of what makes America America. But our say-almost-anything approach to free speech is actually relatively recent, and you can trace it back to one guy: a Supreme Court justice named Oliver Wendell Holmes. Even weirder, you can trace it back to one seemingly ordinary 8-month period in Holmes’s life when he seems to have done a logical U-turn on what should be say-able.  Why he changed his mind during those 8 months is one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the Supreme Court.  (Spoiler: the answer involves anarchists, a house of truth, and a cry for help from a dear friend.)  Join us as we investigate why he changed his mind, how that made the country change its mind, and whether it’s now time to change our minds again.
