38. I'm endorsing free speech in public schools
Thu Sep 25, 2025, 10:56 AM
Sep 2025

I'm endorsing public schools following federal law if they're receiving federal dollars.

I don't have to like what is being said in order to support the right to say it.

As you know, these are voluntary and before or after school hours, not being taught in the classrooms by the teachers.
