But the most telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself. ore than a century and a half ago, this country ignored the explicit words of men who sought to raise an empire of slavery. It subsequently transformed those men into gallant knights who sought only to preserve their beloved Camelot.

Which is why I am puzzled by Anthony Romero’s view. Although he seems to acknowledge different rules for private entities, he still defends freedom for hate speech.
From Anthony Romero’s interview with David Remnick, “But the terms of service—in terms of the individual user, and the ability to post one’s content, even when it’s hateful or not aligned with the A.C.L.U.’s values—has also got to be secure.”

Our own experiences as civil rights movement veterans leave us without illusions about the capacity of tyranny to take root. Today we see a national government taking shape that is reminiscent of the white supremacist Citizens Councils in Mississippi and throughout the South. And we remember that their viciousness was not only directed at civil rights activists and organizers, but at all people who criticized or stood in dissent of their practices and programs.
