Free speech must be upheld on both sides of an argument. Understanding people's thoughts and feelings is valuable. However, this belief is no longer considered inviolable. Both US political parties often seek to hinder it. Nevertheless, when free speech flourishes, as it does across US campuses, we can discern the genuine abyss of knowledge in its utterance. It is imperative for more individuals to actively engage in contemporary debates on topics such as poverty, immigration, and the increasing calls for isolationism. Yet, solid arguments can falter due to our limited comprehension of civics, our nation's founders, and the principles of liberalism. There is a significant gap in the dissemination of this knowledge in most of our educational institutions. To the founders and contributors of the Free Press, a profound and heartfelt thank you. As someone who tends to align with the middle-right on political matters, I remain eager to hear others' well-reasoned opinions, not solely driven by passion. I can and will change my mind. Your dedication and the myriad of contributors represent the best of journalism integrity.
