CHAPTER

This chapter examines a new thesis challenging traditional views of free speech protections in the U.S., arguing that rather than promoting democracy, they often favor oppressive voices.

The discussion calls for a reevaluation of First Amendment frameworks to ensure that all voices, particularly marginalized ones, are heard and respected in academic settings.
