Siding with publishers and authors, a federal judge Wednesday ruled that a key part of a 2023 Florida law that has led to books being removed from school library shelves is “overbroad and unconstitutional.” mypanhandle.com/news/part-of…

Was Epstein some kind of intelligence agent? It's hard to completely rule out this popular theory. But based on the totality of evidence, it's very unlikely. Good reporting here by @JayShams ... businessinsider.com/jeffrey-…

Yet again, @TheFIREorg defends free speech, without regard to which side it involves.
BREAKING: FIRE will defend J. Ann Selzer, the veteran pollster whose last poll before the 2024 election incorrectly predicted Kamala Harris leading in Iowa, against a baseless lawsuit by President-elect Donald Trump that threatens Americans’ First Amendment rights.

What percent of a nine-year-old’s face can be covered in black paint before it is objectively “blackface?” Is double racism twice as bad as regular? These are the very questions a Delaware court has been tasked with resolving. slandertown.com/blog/blackfa…

Another FL district (Hernando) has removed classics like The Color Purple, The Fixer, and Slaughterhouse-Five from their school libraries without a formal objection or public committee review. Don’t believe us? Try to search for the titles: hcsb.insigniails.com/Library…
