Rowan Atkinson’s Got It Right: Freedom of Speech Is Essential

Rowan Atkinson hit the nail on the head—freedom of speech is as essential as food and shelter. It’s not just a “nice-to-have”; it’s the bedrock of a truly free society. Without the ability to speak our minds, debate ideas, and call out what’s wrong, the whole idea of a liberal society crumbles. Freedom of speech keeps us informed, empowered, and connected to one another. It’s priceless, and it’s worth protecting at all costs!
