Join the Conversation

A very timely “Join the Conversation” event from WSHU

The First Amendment is cited daily in reference to the Capitol insurrection, “cancel culture” and hate speech posted on social media. But our right to free speech is more nuanced than many people realize. In this fascinating discussion with noted experts, we will examine exactly what the First Amendment covers, what it doesn’t cover and how it pertains to some of the timely issues at hand.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. 

Today, we hear too many incorrect assertions that "hate speech"—which has no generally accepted definition—is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected from censorship.

WSHU is thrilled to have NPR's Eric Westervelt join us in Connecticut and on Long Island for fascinating discussions on the state of education today.
