On Censorship

"No one has a right not to be criticized or offended." -- Jonathan Rauch as quoted in The Language Police (pg. 161)

I think I have found my saying. One of the reasons this is being mentioned is because of Rauch's book Kindly Inquisitors being referenced as the author is questioning the education system's right to censor. Whether this is a discussion about cutting offensive material out of text books or "diversity trainers instructing workers and students about the language that they should and should not express." Rauch says that "[n]o one has the right to be spared sacrilege...."

Personally I think this is a crystal clear lens that needs to start replacing the funky coloured ones this nation and others have been busy looking through.
