COMMENTARY

By Scott Walker - Thursday, September 19, 2024

OPINION:


The fight to uphold the Constitution of the United States is more important today than ever in our nation’s history. We must do more than celebrate the signing of our governing document on Sept. 17, 1787. We must ensure the protections of our beloved republic are upheld for generations to come.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said on MSNBC: “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” Apparently, courses on the Constitution were not available at the schools where Mr. Walz taught in the past.

The First Amendment to the Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Free speech isn’t limited to things he thinks are not misinformation or hateful.

Do any of us really want the government to determine what is or is not appropriate to say? Remember the federal officials who told us we’d be immune to COVID-19 if we got the vaccination shot? Politicians like Mr. Walz could label anyone who questioned the wisdom of that claim as engaging in “misinformation” at the time. Yet we all later saw many people test positive for COVID-19 after receiving the vaccination. So, who were the real purveyors of “misinformation”? Similar concerns may be raised about the definition of “hate speech” — as Mr. Walz called it on television.

Dr. Ben Carson lectured on courage for Young America’s Foundation last school year on the campus of Roanoke College in Virginia. The mother of one of the co-captains of the women’s swim team mentioned that his lecture inspired her daughter to lead her team in speaking out about a male athlete who wanted to swim as a female on their team. Mr. Walz’s definition of “hate speech” would ban speaking about these legitimate concerns over fairness.
