Sorry, I can't watch it. I already know about how they're handing out propaganda and trying to make it look interesting by calling it "banned". The only thing that's banned in America these days is God and the Truth.

And cocaine.

Are they gonna say these dumb books that are all about having no boundaries are on the same level as a real bannable book like Atlas Shrugged or A Clockwork Orange?

Public servants aren't allowed to express their beliefs freely and privately without being threatened with job loss.

Whoa does the first amendment not matter anymore

If someone gets offended by a post on your personal social media account, you can get fired. It also affects the private sector, but the public sector is worse. Basically people just want to hear what makes them feel good, and if you say anything else, they want to destroy your life. But watch the video, it's about something else.

I very strongly doubt this, especially if it's private. Companies are not allowed to fire you or hire you or discriminate in any way due to religion. They are allowed to fire you for no reason in states like Florida though. Also, people are able to express their beliefs freely, especially with stuff like YouTube.

The first amendment gives you freedom to say whatever you want, but you are not free from the consequences from those actions.

Also God and your so-called "truth" (that's vague) are not banned.

Don't worry. You'll understand some day, when you find your own freedom of speech under attack by the political correctness mob. It will probably be too late for you by then, but at least you will understand what some of us were trying to save you from.

First They Came

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
- Martin Niemoller

An empty comment devoid of meaning: the only kind of speech that is never challenged.
