Ireland's Hate Speech bill has traveled the word and is getting global attention, and rightfully so. Its Orwellian and authoritarian nature demands serious consideration. It is imperative that Leo Varadkar, in a display of leadership, acknowledges publicly the grave mistake made in restricting speech within a free Western country.

It is time for a reconsideration and a resolute stance in defense of the fundamental principles that define us as a free society.
