Rod Sullivan, a professor of Constitutional Law, has tried over 100 cases and has successfully appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has been a legal expert on Nova (“Why Ships Crash,” available on Prime and YouTube), the CBS Evening News, CNN, NPR, CCTC (China), KBS (Korean Broadcasting System), and Time Magazine. His legal commentary has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Times, and the International New York Times. Now he’s written a book on the right to free speech.
Free speech is under assault around the world. Whether it’s in social media, artificial intelligence, censorship, libel and defamation, speech in colleges and universities, or the cancel culture, everywhere you look, the right to speak freely, challenge ideas, and express unpopular opinions is threatened with extinction. United Nations speech codes are encroaching on the internet. Claims that certain ideas are seditious, misinformation, disinformation, or propaganda pepper the airwaves. Doctors are being censored, as are teachers, parents, organizations, and students – all have experienced the trends.
[SPEECH] examines where it all went wrong, from shutting down the law of libel and defamation, speech codes, censorship, and even criminal prosecutions, the loss of the right of free speech has damaged civility, peace, and the ability of people to get along in free societies. The breakdown is all around us.
[SPEECH] will help you determine where we’ve gone wrong, what we can do to fix it, and what happens if we lose the right to free speech forever.
