Free speech, but only for a few

The Fresno State Collegian had an interesting editorial about Donald Trump recently. I noted that former Fresno City Council Member Jerry Duncan posted a comment on the newspaper’s website that said, “With garbage like this, obviously our education system has seriously failed us.”

What is obvious is that the award -inning newspaper consists of bright students who are free-thinkers and who exercise their rights to free speech. Trump and Duncan have no problem expressing their opinions but would stifle those who disagree with them.
