ROB: FREE-SPEECH ZONES SEEING A
SPIKE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
NATIONWIDE.
FLORIDA MOVING TO COMBAT THIS
TREND WITH THE NEW BILL THAT
WOULD OUTLAW THESE RESTRICTIVE
ZONES.
JILLIAN: HERE IS JANICE BAXLEY,
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE HOPING TO
ACCOMPLISH.
>> TAKING A STAND FOR FREEDOM
AND WE WANT TO PUSH BACK AGAINST
THE IDEA THAT FREE SPEECH IS
LIMITED TO SOME SPECIAL ZONAL
RESTRICTED AREA.
FREE-SPEECH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT WE WANT TO PROTECT AND
FOSTER.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T
RESPECT A LOT OF THINGS THAT
HAPPEN AREN'T REALLY FREE
SPEECH.
THAT DOESN'T IMPROVE RIOTING OR
ATTACKING OTHER PEOPLE ARE
DESTROYING PROPERTY.
WE HAVE TO LEARN TO HAVE CIVIL
CONVERSATION AND OUR
UNIVERSITIES SHOULD BE A PLACE
EVERYONE EXPERIENCES
FREE-SPEECH.
MIGHT DISAGREE WITH.
>> IT DOESN'T MAKE A GOOD
HEADLINE TO SAY YOU WANT TO
OUTLAW FREE-SPEECH ZONES BUT
WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS
PROTECT FREE SPEECH BY OUTLYING
THESE ZONES WHICH USE A SILENCE
SPEAKERS, SHUNNED OUT BY A
FREE-SPEECH ZONE AND IT WOULD
MAKE MORE SENSE TO SAY YOU ARE
TRYING TO PROMOTE FREE SPEECH,
NOT OUTLAW FREE-SPEECH.
>> WE ARE TAKING SPECIFIC ISSUE
WITH THE CONCEPT OF FREE SPEECH,
THAT APPLIES WHERE WE ARE, WE
SHOULDN'T FEAR DEBATE, WE NEED
TO LEARN TO HAVE CIVIL DISCOURSE
AGAIN OF ALL PLACES COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES HAVE EMBRACED THIS.
AND HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN
SHOWN WE CAN HAVE FREE SPEECH,
WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE VIOLENCE
BUT THIS IS A RIGHT THAT MUST BE
PROTECTED, HAVE TO KEEP FREEDOM
ALIVE.
>> 20 STATES WITH FREE-SPEECH, 7
HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED, TAKING A
LOOK AT THE MAP.
WHAT DO YOU HEAR ABOUT COLLEGE
CAMPUSES TO THESE IMPRESSIONABLE
STUDENTS COULD DO TO THEM LATER
FUNCTIONS.
THERE IS A COMPETITION OF IDEAS,
THE STRENGTH AND LIBERTY AND ONE
LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE FREEDOM OF
SPEECH IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP THAT
ALIVE SO TO TAKE THE APPROACH
THAT WE WILL DEAL WITH
TROUBLESOME CONFLICTS BY
RESTRICTING THEM TO TIGHT ZONES
IS UNACCEPTABLE.
AMERICA IS NOT THE KIND OF
COUNTRY YOU ARE TOLD WHERE YOU
