When Freedom of Speech Becomes the Freedom to Hate

 
Date: Thursday, February 23, 2012
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Place: Dalton State College, Gignilliat Memorial Hall, Goodroe Auditorium

The public is invited to the free program which will be led by Mr. Matthew L. Hipps, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Dalton State.

“The first amendment right to free speech is one of our most precious and closely guarded rights, but it can also be the most easily abused,” said Hipps, who teaches Introduction to American Government for the College. “I think an open and honest conversation about what free speech actually means is a very good thing.

“As I teach political science –and wrote a dissertation on our perceptions of each other—I have always been interested in the Bill of Rights and how those things that protect us can become the very things that tear us apart,” Hipps said.  The program is recommended for mature audiences as it may contain strong language and adult themes.  It is sponsored by the Dalton State College Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
