In Defense of Free Speech

Jo Rowling is a heck of a storyteller, the DrsC enjoy her Harry Potter series. Rowling doesn't love Donald Trump, there's no particular reason she should.

CNN reports J. K. Rowling, unlike a half million plus of her countrymen, is a defender of free speech.
I find almost everything that Mr. Trump says objectionable. I consider him offensive and bigoted. But he has my full support to come to my country and be offensive and bigoted there.

If you seek the removal of freedoms from an opponent simply on the grounds that they have offended you, you have crossed a line to stand alongside tyrants who imprison, torture and kill on exactly the same justifications,
COTTonLINE honors Rowling's defense of free speech. It's sad more of the fragile cry bullies on our campuses, who loved her stories, don't share her views.
