Video: “Freedom of Speech: How is Offensive Speech Good for Society?”
July 22, 2015
Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law Professor Tom W. Bell is featured in a new video entitled “
Freedom of Speech: How is Offensive Speech Good for Society?
” presented by Learn Liberty, an online resource that provides free video lectures for students across the globe on a range of academic disciplines. The video was published by the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) at George Mason University.
“Freedom of expression matters precisely because it allows us to voice and hear unpopular and controversial views. You don’t have to like offensive speech — in fact you should feel free to vigorously denounce and criticize speech that you see as wrong,” Professor Bell said.
“Freedom of Speech: How is Offensive Speech Good for Society?” is only the latest in Professor Bell’s partnership with IHS. Previously Professor Bell released an open online course “
Entrepreneur’s Survival Guide to Trademarks, Patents, & More
” as well as a variety of videos on the rule of law and property rights.
