Today's Opinions

Record drought and climate change skeptics
Why universities should defend, not censor, offensive speech
Good morning. Today we offer up a great opinionated lineup just for you.

Today's columns include free speech, voting rights and police accountability. And those are just the first three topics. Our quick list of extra columns promises to keep you coming back for more. Lett's do it. 

In defense of offensive speech

Abigail Anthony, a rising junior at Princeton University, writes against legislating speech and how universities should protect all speech, even when it's deemed "offensive". 

"The movement to ban offensive rhetoric fails to acknowledge the full scope of free expression: It does not protect ideas, but rather, enables them to be challenged.

To be clear, we should not strive to be offensive. That would be cruel and disrespectful. Instead, I am arguing that we should not legislate offensiveness, and that any attempts to do so — outside the narrowest exceptions, such as defamation and perjury — will prove incoherent and illogical."

This is Trump's doing

"As former staffers to prominent Republicans, we are clear-eyed about voting threats. This isn't a "both sides" issue. We are in this sad predicament because former President Donald Trump and his allies cast ridiculous, unfounded aspersions on our election systems for no other reason than their disappointment with the election results."

 It's crazy that we have to launch Republicans for Voting Rights. 

Floyd case should mean accountability

Ben Crump, a civil rights attorney, represented the Floyd family in its civil suit against the city of Minneapolis. He writes about how the Derek Chauvin sentencing could user in a new era of police accountability. 

"Floyd's death brought a wave of consequences that is sadly unusual in the death of a Black man at the hands of police. We must ride that wave to achieve lasting change that ushers in a new era of accountability.
