"You should call your theater season 'Freedom of speech.' When we start to censor, our right to show any of these 3 shows can be taken away. Censorship is never the answer, but education, dialogue and free speech should be instead."
To clarify, curtailment of freedom of speech in the usual context does not apply here -- at least, not yet! -- as it has to do with government censorship. It does not apply to theater companies or producers deciding on their own not to produce a particular show because they fear some of their audience might find certain elements of it dicey or offensive, even if you or I disagree with their decision. |
