We're seeing arguably the most dangerous anti-free speech movement in our history
Jonathan Turley Sounds Alarm on 'Most Dangerous' Anti-Free Speech Era. Free speech expert Jonathan Turley believes America is in the midst of its "most dangerous" anti-free speech era, calling President Joe Biden the "most anti-free speech president since John Adams." Turley, a George Washington University law professor and the author of "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage," told CBN News the assaults on free expression today are uniquely troubling, citing a triangular dominance in media and other spheres.
"We've had these periods of anti-free speech movements before, but this is the most dangerous," he said. "And the reason is because we've never seen an alliance like this, where the government, corporations, academia, and the media joined together in this attack on free speech." Turley lamented newspaper columns framing the First Amendment as being "out of control," and highlighted what he said is a movement among some academics to "rewrite the First Amendment."
"What we're seeing is, perhaps, I think, arguably the most dangerous anti-free speech movement in our history," he reiterated. "We cannot assume that, even though we've gotten through all of the periods discussed in [my book "The Indispensable Right"], that we will get through this one."
When asked to weigh in on long-held perspectives from many conservatives and Christians that Hollywood, media, and universities hold a bias against their views, Turley offered a candid response. "I think it is most certainly true," he said. "I have a long chapter on higher education and it details how much we've lost. I would never have imagined when I started teaching three decades ago that higher education would be this intolerant."
Turley charged that "universities have largely purged conservatives, Republicans, libertarians," and that many faculties fail to employ many — if any — people who subscribe to these views. Watch to see what else he has to say on the matter.
