yes supposed to be in theory, doesn't work out in practice.It's not a strawman. The french idea vs the british idea of free speech is completely different. The french believe free speech should be "accordance to law" which defeats the whole point of free speech. Universities restricting free speech is the dumbest shit in the world, they're supposed to be the bastion of free and radical ideas.
Sylvia: yeah the muslim majority has changed so many french laws like the banning of the burqa, good on them for influencing the french legal system.
but alas my point was missed. Gov shouldn't control speech, written or otherwise. However in this case it wasn't in the public arena.
