It won't be the last.
However, it's staggering just how many people want to limit First Amendment Rights to those speeches and writings that agree with theirs.
It's a Euro idea, that SOME opinions or writings are just unacceptable, and MUST be censored. It didn't start with the Nazi party, as is often suggested. Long before Hitler, European countries were censoring Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Atheists, Feminists, those who opposed the official state church, those who were pro-Democracy, etc.
But, the Leftists and their allies, the Progressives, have gathered energy, used their positions to pressure companies to cancel their provided services to organizations - or individuals - that they deem too controversial. Or Non-Lefitst. Or "Homophobic" or "Anti-Woman/LGBTQ-whatever/Black/Minority".
Without proof. Except their VERY strong Say-So.
The same people who insisted that churches had to tolerate crude, vulgar, hateful expressions right outside - and, sometimes, inside - their places of worship have suddenly developed the vapors at the IDEA that they should have to tolerate such nonsense, themselves.
Funny how those same women who will INSIST that they be treated as though they are BIG, BRAVE WOMYN also insist that we moderate our speech, because - you know - they just can't BEAR the sound of all that AWFUL "HATE"!
And, it's not just them insisting that we, who disagree with them, refrain from speaking in their presence.
They're also mobilizing their considerable forces to pressure OTHERS from providing a platform. Or links. Or, not condemning us strongly enough. Or refusing to go along with their efforts to make those they dislike become a un-person.
For those who do not understand the un-person thing, I include this educational link.
