Discard freedom of expression and it will be permanently lost.
Were I to speak only from experience as an educator, I would aver that the world is awash in a sea of ignorance and stupidity. It is never so simple, and foolish to take so narrow a view. Yet it is of some moment to acknowledge the disintegration of cultures over the course of the historical record that have failed to transmit ideas and ideals to upcoming generations. Those who never experience freedom, regardless of what manner or form it takes, whether in individual, artistic, or political terms, will be incapable of comprehending its loss, a loss immeasurable.
